New research project: ICEBIO

Dr. Brill + Partner prepares risk assessment

ICEBIO is a PhD network that will train the next generation of experts in glacier microbiology and biogeochemistry.

In all 11 doctoral candidates will work together to advance our understanding of microbial and biogeochemical processes in a range of glacial ecosystems, the exchanges between them and the surrounding ecosystems. (Graphics © ICEBIO)

ICEBIO will provide a database of the functional diversity and potential of the glacier biome, which will not only greatly improve our understanding of a threatened biome, but also demonstrate the potential for exploiting economic and ecological services.

Dr. Brill + Partner GmbH will, among other things, provide a risk assessment regarding pathogenic organisms from the glacier biome, including the inclusion of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
