Colorado State researchers, including Dr. Diana Wall and her team of “Wormherders,” are on location at the McMurdo Dry Valley Long-Term Ecological Research Station on Ross Island, Antarctica.
Dr. Wall’s team is working on a project that looks at what happens to soil and the many microscopic species living within it when permafrost melts and the resulting water starts to move across the landscape. Follow the team’s blog at http://nemablog.wordpress.com/
CSU contingent includes (left to right) Dr. Diana Wall (front row, centre), Ashley Shaw (back row, second from left), Dr. Tandra Fraser (back row, third from left) and Dr. Matt Knox (front row, second from right).
