UNSW researchers have found their previous discovery of bacteria living on air in Antarctica is likely a process that occurs globally, further supporting the potential existence of microbial life on alien planets.
UNSW Science Professor Rick Cavicchioli is an expert in microbes and why they are so important – just last year, he led an urgent call for the world to stop ignoring this ‘unseen majority’ in Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystem when addressing climate change.
UNSW researchers have linked the burden of humpback whales’ annual migration to depleted microbial diversity in their airways – an indicator of overall health.
Rising ocean temperatures drove the melting of Antarctic ice sheets and caused extreme sea level rise more than 100,000 years ago, a new international study led by UNSW Sydney shows.
