Biogeochemistry Lab (Takeuchi)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the relationship between the Earth and life through organisms living in the world of snow and ice.
AboutAbout the lab
Life exists even on snow and ice.
Professor Nozomu Takeuchi's lab studies snow and ice organisms that live in the world of snow and ice.
Snow and ice organisms are special organisms adapted to low-temperature environments, and as organisms of an extreme environment they are of great biological interest.
At the same time, they are important for understanding the effects of glacier melt and as clues to past environments recorded in ice cores.
They are also considered key organisms in research on the ancient Earth, such as Snowball Earth, and on life elsewhere in the universe, such as on Mars and Europa.
Key terms
- Snow and ice organisms
- Organisms that live on snow and ice, adapted to the low-temperature environment.
- Ice core
- Ice drilled out of a glacier or ice sheet in a cylindrical shape. It preserves a record of past environments.
- Snowball Earth
- An event in ancient times in which the entire Earth is thought to have been covered in ice.
