Happy to see our new paper out in Biogeosciences! 📊

We investigated the fate of buried sulfur compounds and the potential for microbial sulfur reduction throughout the entire ∼13.5 kyr sedimentary history of the sulfate-rich alpine Lake Cadagno.

Microbial sulfur cycling across a 13 500-year-old lake sediment record
Abstract. The sulfur cycle is very important in lake sediments, despite the much lower sulfate concentrations in freshwater than seawater. To date, little is known about the formation and preservation...

Happy to see our new paper out in Frontiers in Microbiology! 📊 I enjoyed working with the team and helping make the 16S rRNA sequencing protocol work for low-biomass groundwater samples from the Bedretto Lab Deep Life Observatory (DELOS).

Today, I learned that cruise ships
Source: @theguardian.com

🚢 Emit 5× more CO2 than planes
🚢 Release as much PARTICULATE MATTER as 1 million cars daily
🚢 In 2022, emitted 4× more SULFUR OXIDES than all EU cars
🚢 Create 25% of all ocean WASTE
🚢 Disrupt animal migration

What can be done about this?

Mars subsurface might actually be a good place for methanogens 🦠 Do you think we will find Martian methanogens? arxiv.org/abs/2411.15064
Potential habitability of present-day Mars subsurface for terrestrial-like methanogens
The intense debate about the presence of methane in the Martian atmosphere has stimulated the study of methanogens adapted to terrestrial habitats that mimic Martian environments. We examinate the env...
