The uneven impact of climate change on drought with elevation in the Canary Islands

Climate models project an increase in drought and aridity in many regions, in response to greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. In areas with complex topography, such as the Canary Islands, elevation may play an important role in future changes.

Trajectories of freshwater microbial genomics and greenhouse gas saturation upon glacial retreat.

In this study, we did fieldwork in the remote high Arctic close to 80 oN at Svalbard as well as in the alpine, glaciated landscapes of Norway. The question we address here was how the aquatic microbial communities change along a glacial retreat gradient combined with analysis of greenhouse gases.
