Oceans and inland waters are inhabited by a diversity of microorganisms whose metabolic capabilities support these aquatic ecosystems. However, our understanding of how the distribution and activities of microorganisms are affected by environmental conditions is insufficient. This limits our ability to predict how climate change and other pressures may alter microbial communities and the ecosystems that depend on them. This research program aims to address this limitation by investigating the distributions and activities of microorganisms in northern aquatic ecosystems, including the Arctic Ocean, using state-of-the-art genomics-based approaches. The program will produce important insights into microbial responses to ongoing climate change.

海洋和内陆沃茨中居住着多种微生物， 这些水生态系统的能力。然而，我们对微生物的分布和活动如何受环境条件影响的理解是不够的。这限制了我们预测气候变化和其他压力如何改变微生物群落和依赖它们的生态系统的能力。该研究计划旨在通过调查包括北冰洋在内的北方水生生态系统中微生物的分布和活动，使用最先进的基于基因组学的方法来解决这一限制。该计划将对微生物对持续气候变化的反应产生重要的见解。
