This is the product of my final postdoc role - thank you to the many generous researchers who contributed their data!
Work by Cluster member McKenzie Skiles is cited in this newly published article in Frontiers of Earth Science.
"In recent decades, a growing body of research has focused on characterizing supraglacial microbial communities. These studies have unveiled that pigmented glacier ice algae, namely, Ancylonema nordenskiöldii and Ancylonema alaskanum, blooming during the summer melt seasons accelerate surface melting"
