1/6 Awesome!! Our latest work from @sber_epfl lab is published at the @ISMEJournal today! We find prevalent and apparently microdiverse clades in the microbiome of glacier-fed streams, and we also develop a new statistical method to identify such clades!

How global change has affected over decades the CO2 emissions from Chinese inland waters. What an amazing lesson learned from Lishan Ran @HKUgeography , @DavidButman , @GeoHartmann , @geeraert_naomi , #SBER #EPFL #ENAC in !

Substantial decrease in CO2 emissions from Chinese inland waters due to global change

Nature Communications - Inland waters emit greenhouse gases, but robust estimations are hampered by a dearth of spatio-temporally resolved measurements. Here the authors present annual fluxes of...

The paper is out in L&O. Very well done Bet! I always knew, lakes are nothing more than gently flowing streams! Check it out:

New #RIVER_epfl paper. Great work dear @GregoireMichoud , best title ever😃! African glaciers are vanishing at a rapid pace - we present first metagenomic insights in the microbiome of a MtRwenzori glacier stream. Quite an expedition btw.

#RIVER_epfl back to the roots @ #wassercluster with the awesome Lunzer flumes where it all started almost 18 years ago. Glad to see them still being in use 😊! Even better to see Bosco, Gerti and Martin still being around! Love you!!

Amazingly important work Judith @j_a_rosentreter and team @duarteoceans @carBenPoulter @DavidOlefeldt @pondscience @sber_epfl @epfl @BridgetDeemer @songchunlin (and others). Will help us to further appreciate the role of aquatic ecosystems for the global biogeochemistry.

#SBER Anna, what you study in your lab flumes does exist in nature 😃! Seen on the rocks downstream from the #Rhoneglacier ! Diatoms and others.....More soon.
