I have a long term research interest in the biogeochemical processes that impact on the compsoition of melt waters flowing on, in and under glaciers and ice sheets, and the chemical changes the water induces in the aerosol and debris it encounters. I was involved in the discovery of microbial life in subglacial environments, and leading the research consequences that this paradigm shift for the discipline has entailed. These include: (1) the production of labile forms of nutrients, such as Fe, from glacially crushed rock, which makes an important contribution ot the fertilisation of the Southern Ocean via ice berg rafting of debris; ...
