Scientists have been studying and modeling this process for years, but until now, no research group has specifically examined how glacier melt will affect glacier-fed streams and their ecosystems. A study carried out under the Vanishing Glaciers project, led by EPFL, has been recently published in Nature Communications. It establishes the very first forecasts of what these streams and their microbiomes could look like by century-end under various climate-change scenarios.<\/p>\n<p><em>Essential Sources for the World\u2019s Main Rivers<\/em><br \/>\n\u201cGlacier-fed streams are the sources of some of the world\u2019s largest river systems, supplying vital water to billions of people,\u201d says Hannes Peter, a scientist at EPFL\u2019s River Ecosystems Laboratory (RIVER) and a co-author of the study. \u201cIf we take Switzerland as an example, nearly all its main rivers \u2013 including the Rhone, Inn and Adige \u2013 derive from glacier-fed streams. So the changes that take place at high altitudes have a direct impact on everything that occurs downstream. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to understand how melting glaciers will affect these streams and their unique microbial ecosystems.\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.epfl.ch\/news\/glacier-melt-puts-unique-microbial-ecosystems-unde\/\">Read more at Ecole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/76327-glacier-melt-puts-unique-microbial-ecosystems-under-threat\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/glacier-melt-puts-unique-microbial-ecosystems-under-threat\/\">Glacier Melt Puts Unique Microbial Ecosystems Under Threat<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18551,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-139046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-microbial-ecosystems","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139046\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
