Joseph Murray Mentor: Dr. Ariel Anbar Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of hot spring biofilms from Yellowstone National Park Joseph Murray Mentor: Dr. Ariel Anbar Title page

Astrobiology at Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone abounds with diverse hydrothermal ecosystems Provides an excellent opportunity to observe many unique organisms living in extreme habitats Unique chance to search for variations in the elemental requirements for life Biological Stoichiometry yellowstone Jeff Havig, Ph.D. Candidate

Carbon Cycling In Bison Pool: 2005-2006 This plot shows the D13C (fractionation from DIC) values for biofilms from ‘Bison Pool’ collected in 2005 and 2006. The lines and arrows are put in place only as estimates of averages and to help illustrate the assumed trend in fractionation. Bison Pool C story 2005-2006 (J. Havig, in prep.)

Carbon Cycling In Bison Pool: 2005-2007 Bison Pool w/ 2007 Data 2007 Biofilm (J. Havig, in prep.) This plot shows the D13C (fractionation from DIC) values for biofilms from ‘Bison Pool’ collected in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The lines and arrows are put in place only as estimates of averages and to help illustrate the assumed trend in fractionation.
