Take a trip around Alaska to sample microbes in glacial melt with students in UAA Biological Sciences Professor Brandon Briggs' lab.
The team of faculty, undergraduate and graduate researchers are studying the microbes and microbial processes associated with extreme environments in polar regions. By looking at how these “extreme microbes” respond to and manipulate their environments, the researchers hope to better understand how glaciers change over time.
