Laguna Fumarolica, Costa Rica Sequencing
This sequencing data was generated to study the microorganisms in the Martian analog Laguna Fumarolica, a high-temperature, acidic geothermal lake in Costa Rica. Over a multi-year investigation (2013-2022), we analyzed fluid chemistry and microbial diversity across spatially distinct zones of the lagoon. Our aim was to show that the system is a compelling model system for ancient Martian environments.
