Join us for an exciting peek into the hidden world of cave microbiology with Dr. Hazel Barton, Loper Endowed Professor of Geological Sciences, University of Alabama. Rather than being home to a few scant organisms, caves support a remarkable microbial ecosystem. The microorganisms within caves are changing the ways in which we understand how caves form and the potential for life elsewhere in our universe. Research on these unlikely survivors offer the potential to uncover real world solutions to climate change and plastic pollution. Reserve your seat today for this not to be missed lecture.
All tickets include complimentary access to Huntsville Botanical Garden. This event's presenting sponsor is the National Speleological Society.
Dr. Barton's research focuses on understanding microbial interactions and adaptations to starvation in caves. To learn more, visit cavescience.com
