Embark on an icy exploration with the FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Polar and Alpine Microbiology, where cutting-edge research unveils the hidden microbial worlds of Greenland’s ice sheets, thawing permafrost, and irradiated snowpacks. Discover how diverse microbial communities adapt to extreme cold, respond to global warming, and face the challenges of increased solar irradiation. From the depths of ancient permafrost to the surface of sunlit snow, our speakers will share their insights into the resilience and complexity of life in these extreme environments.
