#newarticle by Ono & Takeuchi @cryo_tardigrade reveals snow algae & microinvertebrates in northern Japan snowpack migrate diurnally w/in the snowpack to remain under the best conditions for their growth, thriving in the Microbial Active Snow Surface layer: https://t.co/4KuW886LsM
Our new paper is out! We found that microbes in snowpacks are not only distributed on the snow surface but also within the snowpack, dynamically changing their vertical distribution over a daily cycle.

I had the opportunity to visit two glaciers in the Arctic (Greenland during the summer of 2024 and in Svalbard in the spring of 2025). It was my first time working in both regions. Where to next...?
