Petra Klímová

(MSc, BSc Charles University)

I am interested in microbial life under the extreme conditions of glacial environments. My PhD research investigates how microbial communities develop on the glacial/proglacial transition.

During my masters, I studied diatom communities of a remote, cool-temperate Gough Island (southern Atlantic Ocean). Diatoms can be used to reconstruct past climate and to track changes in local conditions.
