Fang Glacier Ice Core Sequencing, Mount Erebus, Antarctica
This sequencing data was generated to study the microorganisms preserved in an ice core from Fang Glacier on Mount Erebus, Antarctica. Our study extracted sections of the Fang Core that contained tephra, and sections that contained no tephra. We then used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to study the microorganisms found in each layer. Our aim was to identify microorganisms associated with volcanic eruptions.
