H31F:
Interfacing Hydrology and Microbiology: Combining Hydrologic Tools with Microbiological Methods to Study Subsurface Ecosystems I Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 24242

Session Description:
Traditional hydrological tools can be used with microbiological analyses to better understand the fluxes of energy and nutrients that make life possible in Earth’s subsurface. This interface enhances the study of subsurface environments, ranging from the deep marine biosphere to terrestrial bioremediation efforts. This session capitalizes on an interdisciplinary approach of microbiological studies that are informed and supplemented by hydrologic experimentation. Appropriate studies may include innovative methods for incorporating microbial processes into reactive transport models, or how other hydrologic techniques such as tracer tests, borehole geochemical analyses, or heatflow measurements are used to inform microbiological experimentation across scales; from laboratory culturing, in situ microbial sampling schemes, ‘omic analyses (metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), and field-scale engineering applications. Presentations ranging from microbially induced changes in chemical or physical subsurface processes to the exploration of deep life that bridge the interface between hydrology and microbiology are encouraged.
