Antarctic Observatory for the Study of Microbial Communities in Soils and Rocks
Activities
The main activities of the Observatory include:
- Maintenance and management of four stations previously installed as part of the PNRA14_00132 project.
- Visualization and distribution of environmental data recorded through this website.
- Analysis of recorded environmental data and their possible impact on biological communities.
- Characterization of the diversity of microbial communities in rocks and soils in the areas where the stations are located, to provide a baseline and monitor potential future changes in a global warming context.
