Major Science Goals at Pavilion Lake
I am intrigued by the diversity and activity of viruses in Pavilion Lake. Our research group is particularly interested in isolating and characterizing new viruses for cyanobacterial hosts found in microbialite mats as well as the determining phylogenetic relationships between Pavilion Lake viruses and found in other freshwater and marine ecosystems.
