Ancient virus genomes preserved in glaciers reveal history of Earth’s climate and how viruses adapted to climate change
As humans change the planet’s climate and ecosystems, scientists are looking to Earth’s history to help predict what will come out of climate change. To that end, massive ice structures like glaciers serve as nature’s freezers, archiving detailed records of past climates and ecosystems, including viruses. We are a team of microbiologists and paleoclimatologists who… Read More »
