Ice-margin and meltwater dynamics during the mid-Holocene in the Kangerlussuaq area of west Greenland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The drive to expand renewable energies is often in direct conflict with sustainable development goals. Thus, it is important that energy policies account for potential trade-offs. We assess the interlinkages between energy, ... -
Icescape-scale metabolomics reveals cyanobacterial and topographic control of the core metabolism of the cryoconite ecosystem of an Arctic ice cap
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Glaciers host ecosystems comprised of biodiverse and active microbiota. Among glacial ecosystems, less is known about the ecology of ice caps since most studies focus on valley glaciers or ice sheet margins. Previously we ... -
