Lake Vanda is a perennially ice-covered, meromictic, endorheic lake located in the
McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, and an exceptional sentinel of climate change within the …

Lake Fryxell is a perennially ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with a
sharp oxycline in a water column that is density stabilized by a gradient in salt concentration …

Microbial pinnacles in ice‐covered Lake Vanda, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, extend
from the base of the ice to more than 50 m water depth. The distribution of microbial …

Polar regions are warming more rapidly than lower latitudes, and climate models predict that
this trend will continue into the coming decades. Despite these observations and …

The perennially ice‐covered, closed‐basin lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica,
serve as sentinels for understanding the fate of dissolved black carbon from glacial sources …

Laminated microbial mats are important ecosystem components of perennially ice‐covered
Antarctic dry valley lakes. In order to understand better their response to changing …

Microbial life can easily live without us; we, however, cannot survive without the global
catalysis and environmental transformations it provides (Falkowski et al., 2008). Despite of …

Lakes are important sites for globally-relevant biogeochemical cycles mediated by
microorganisms. In the Arctic, seasonally ice covered thermokarst lakes are a large …
