#biogeochemistry — Public Fediverse posts

It is a uniquely humbling experience to realize that the microscopic apex predators of epochs past are merely sleeping beneath the ice, wholly indifferent to the passage of human history. The concept of a "zombie virus" might initially sound like the sensationalized plot of a science fiction novel, but—

Bacteriophages are the most abundant and diverse viral entities on Earth, functioning as microscopic apex predators that exist exclusively to infect, replicate within, and ultimately lyse bacterial populations.

I got a new preprint out talking about the impact of heatwaves (and warming in general) on the sediment biogeochemistry of temperate estuaries. Short version: it may contribute to eutrophication.

We were happy to welcome MSc and BSc students from Wageningen University & Research to the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg yesterday. 🌍

Through presentations on #ClimateModeling, ocean #biogeochemistry, and #cloud observations, the students got an inside look at our research. In small-group discussions with early-career scientists, they could also ask questions about PhDs and careers in #ClimateScience. We finished the visit with a rooftop view over Hamburg 📸
