#JET TRANTER BIO DRIVERS#
She has been involved in a number of large projects focusing on quantifying the drivers of ecosystem structure and function at the microbial level.

She specializes in algal and cyanobacterial research spanning a wide range of temperate and polar habitats, both benthic and pelagic in marine, freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. Recently, he is also the coordinator of an Innovative Training Network, which includes 13 beneficiaries and 15 PhD students (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2015) with funding from the EU for investigating microbial communities and processes in the Arctic.ĭr Marian Yallop – Package Co-Leader is Senior Lecturer in the Ecosystem Change Group in the School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol. He is author in over 65 peer-reviewed papers and has previously secured funding as PI from NERC, The Royal Society, The Leverhulme Trust and The Nuffield Foundation. He is one of the advocates that glaciers and ice sheets are one of the biomes of Earth. His previous research demonstrated that microbial activity at the surface of glaciers and ice sheets are responsible for significant carbon and nitrogen fixation with implications for biogeochemical cycles at local and global scales. His research combines molecular and biogeochemical approaches to determine microbial functionality and activity in the cryosphere. He gained his PhD in Limnology from Lund University, Sweden in 2000. Professor Alex Anesio – Package Leader is Professor of Biogeochemistry in the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of Bristol. My interests include rugby (Wales, Ebbw Vale and Bath), the mighty Wolves, Mets and Fins, music, poor photography, cooking, bird watching, bridge, allotmenteering, red wine and real ale.

This is likely to be one of the key drivers, following the presence of liquid water, of microbial growth and pigmentation. I am particularly interested in how the microbes acquire and recycle nutrient from atmospheric and snow/ice sources. I have a long standing interest in the rock-water-microbe interactions, a spectrum of which will be occurring in the different microbiological niches on the surface of the ice sheet. My contribution to the project science will be to help define the geochemical and biogeochemical factors which impact of the growth of pigmented microorganisms in the snow and ice. What is there not to like about fronting up for this group of researchers?īlack and Bloom will undertake transformative work on the combination of physical, chemical and biological factors that control the albedo of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Our international project partners are eminent in their fields, and very generous with their help and support. We have a great team of established academics, four exceptionally talented post docs, and an expanding group of, currently three, bright, able and motivated post grads. All my scientific Christmases have come at once with this project. I have the pleasure, rather than the responsibility, of being the leader of Black and Bloom. See below to find out who is leading Black and Bloom, the scientists running our various working packages ( microbiology, particulates, albedo and modelling), and our invaluable advisers and collaborators.īlack and Bloom Principal Investigator – Professor Martyn Tranter, ORCHID ID: 0000-0003-2071-3094 The Black and Bloom team is made up of scientists from several UK universities, as well as numerous international collaborators.
