Research

My research projects focus on examining microbial biodiversity and ecology in the Canadian high Arctic where very unique habitats exist, using both classical microbiology and novel genomics-based molecular techniques for studying microbial communities. These habitats include unique cold saline springs, permafrost and ground ice, and ice shelf microbial matt communities. These investigations explore the biodiversity, ecology, adaptations, and activity of microbial communities at subzero temperatures in cryoenvironments (subzero habitats) in an emerging field perhaps best described as cryomicrobiology. This area is presently very poorly understood but crucial for determining if such communities are active in situ at subzero temperatures and determining the impact of such activity on global biogeochemical cycling. The utility of these unique cryoenvironments as extraterrestrial analogs for astrobiology studies is also being examined and biotechnological applications of these microorganisms will be investigated in the longer term.

The fundamental questions that my research addresses are:
  • What are the cold temperature limits of microbial life?
  • How do organisms survive in such extreme cryoenvironments?
  • Are microbial communities active at in-situ subzero temperatures in cryoenvironments and how can we detect such activity?

    Current and future projects include:
  • Effects of Climate Change on Permafrost Microbial Communities
  • Stable Isotope Probing and Metagenomic Analyses of Permafrost Samples
  • Microbial Ecology and Biodiversity of High Arctic Cold Saline Springs
  • Characterization of Microorganisms Capable of Subzero Growth and Activity
  • Astrobiology-Related Research
  • Biodegradation and bioremediation by cold-adapted microorganisms
