Quantification of basal ice microbial cell delivery to the glacier margin
We present the first assessment of microbial cell discharge from sediment-laden glacier basal ice. At Svínafellsjökull, a temperate valley glacier in Iceland, approximately 10 17 cells a −1 are transferred through basal ice to the proglacial environment, and between 10 1 and 10 6 cells g −1 basal ic...
