Project information
Project aim
This project will study the limnology of lakes in the Framnes Mountains near Mawson Station. Present-day chemical, biological and physical characteristics of the lakes will be measured, and sediment cores will be collected to determine how the lake environments have developed since the lakes were formed.

Toward the poles, life on land is increasingly dominated by microorganisms, yet the evolutionary origin of polar microbiomes remains poorly understood. Here, we use metabarcoding of Arctic, sub-Antarctic…

Antarctica remains one of the last bastions of exploratory limnology. Lakes in many regions … remain completely unknown, in part because of their often cryptic nature. Of particular interest … is whether the biological communities present in these isolated lakes consist of recent (postglacial)…
