Looking for Life in All the Dry Places
Microbial life is dominant in the desert. Bacteria living in such a harsh environment have developed chemical strategies to persist during long dry intervals. I will highlight ways that I use these biochemicals to trace variations in desert life over time.
James Fulton (Ph.D., Penn State) is an Assistant Research Professor of Geosciences at Baylor University.
