Geogenic nitrogen as a nutrient source to subglacial microbial ecosystems
Glacial runoff often contains nitrate far in excess of nitrogen (N) concentrations in snow. ‘Excess’ nitrate is likely produced by nitrifying bacteria in subglacial environments, yet the source of the additional N has not been identified. In this thesis, rocks are investigated as an N source to subg...
