Life in Antarctic deserts and other cold dry environments: astrobiological analogues / Peter T. Doran, W. Berry Lyons, Diane M. McKnight, eds.
Title: | Life in Antarctic deserts and other cold dry environments: astrobiological analogues / Peter T. Doran, W. Berry Lyons, Diane M. McKnight, eds. |
Author(s): | Doran, Peter T., Lyons, W. Berry, McKnight, Diane M., Marchant, David R. Barrett, J. E. Sun, Henry J. Gooseff, Michael N. Mikucki, Jill. Tranter, Martyn. Takacs-Vesbach, Cristina. Cabrol, Nathalie A. |
Date: | 2010. |
Publisher: | Cambridge: Cambridge University Press |
Abstract: | Collection of 8 articles presents synthesis of current understanding of Antarctic dry valleys from martian analogue perspective that also informs overall understanding of life in extreme environments on Earth. Topics include microclimate-related geomorphology; pedology and soil formation; cryptoendolithic microbial ecosystem; ecosystems of streams, saline lakes and ponds; biogeochemistry and hydrology of glaciers; microbial diversity; and high-altitude, subsurface, desert and polar analogues to Mars. |
