  • Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

    Creator:
    Briggs, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...

  • Establishment and dynamics of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in marine sediments

    Creator:
    Klasek, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments are vast sources and reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Most of this methane is anaerobically oxidized by archaea before it can reach the overlying ocean, though the efficiency of this process often depends on methane fluxes and mechanisms of fluid transport. Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, or ANME,...
