When researchers peer into unknown environments

From the frozen expanse of Antarctica to the vacuum of space, this month EGU was hearing stories of science done in extreme places. We heard from Julia Martin, who on the 70th anniversary of the McMurdo base's installation, shares with a day in the life of a polar scientist, "Setting up our main measurements field fills my heart with joy as I see our scientific mission grow. Living on the sea ice is incredibly special. It is a unique, extreme, and challenging environment that reduces life...''

“Biogeochemical dynamics of the sea-surface microlayer in a multidisciplinary mesocosm study”

We show how the ultra-thin SML becomes a hotspot for organic matter processing and microbes during a phytoplankton bloom.
