(2/2) Etwas später in dieser Woche wird ein größerer Artikel von @timkalvelage.bsky.social auf @spektrum.de erscheinen. Tim hat Liane begleitet und Fotos vom Zelt-Camp auf dem Eis mitgebracht. Stay tuned... hier geht's erstmal zum Podcast. Wer gleich reinhören will 👇 detektor.fm/wissen/spekt...
Wie Eis-Algen Grönlands Gletscher bedrohen
Dunkle Algen überziehen Grönlands Gletscher. Die Folge: Das Eis schmilzt schneller. Forschende warnen vor den Folgen für Klima und Meere.

Ein neuer Podcast gibt einen Einblick in die Arbeit unserer Forscherin @lianegbenning.bsky.social auf Grönland. Dort unter sucht sie Eisalgen, die purpurrot gefärbt sind und die Gletscherschmelze beschleunigen. Die Ankündigung zum Podcast ist hier (1/2) www.spektrum.de/podcast/wie-...
Spektrum-Podcast: Wie Eisalgen Grönlands Gletscher bedrohen
Ein Teppich aus Algen färbt die Gletscher in Grönland dunkel ein und sorgt so dafür, dass sie schneller abschmelzen. Das wurde lange unterschätzt.

⬆️ New research led by Jenine McCutcheon @uwaterloo.ca and @lianegbenning.bsky.social @gfz.bsky.social; story by @tmitchellbrown.bsky.social.
Aerosols carry significant amounts of phosphorus that can fuel massive algal blooms on the Greenland Ice Sheet, according to new research, underscoring the importance of tracking dust emissions to understand how the ice sheet will change in the future. 🧪🧊 eos.org/articles/gre...

Marvellous place, healthy food, healthy mind, healthy body! Life is good ! 😊
So great to see new research on microbial adaptations to the extreme light regimes in the Arctic! 'Linking extreme light availability to cellular function in algae-dominated communities on the Greenland Ice Sheet' academic.oup.com/femsec/artic... @lianegbenning.bsky.social
Linking extreme light availability to cellular function in algae-dominated communities on the Greenland Ice Sheet

Rainy and windy Iceland is not great for sampling - but that is fieldwork joy 🥹
A marvellous day sampling on the Greenland ice sheet wt a top rate all female science team and on top of that flown by the sole female helicopter pilot in Greenland 🇬🇱- thanks Tina from Sermeq for the fantastic day
Melting over 80.6% of the area of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This is the highest value in our data set, which starts in 1981. @polarportal.bsky.social
Start of 2025 summer polar fieldwork travel - stage 1 ✅
