The activity of marine microorganisms depends on community composition, yet, in some oceans, little is known about the environmental and ecological processes that structure their distribution. The objective of this study was to test the effect of geographic distance and environmental parameters on prokaryotic community structure in the Southern Ocean (SO). We described the total (16S rRNA gene) and the active fraction (16S rRNA-based) of surface microbial communities over a ~6.500 km longitudina...

I always had the idea in my head that I would visit the South Pole one day, but the actual planning happened sometime in August 2021. In a year there is only a very small window when you can visit the South Pole. That’s from mid-November to mid-January, it’s the summer for Antarctica with 24 hours o

New research by researchers from UCLA and Ohio University traces trends at South Pole back to the early 1900s.
