Polar MAGIC

The Polar Laboratory for Microbes and Geochemistry in Icy Climes

Cold environment research laboratory in the Institute of Geosciences. Our work includes environmental analysis, chemical experiments and microbiological culturing using samples collected from the cryosphere and from cryosphere-influenced environments (such as proglacial rivers).
