In case you are interested in a) more studies of Outokumpu, I challenge @riikkakie.bsky.social to tell about her papers, b) doing research in Outokumpu Deep Scientific Drill Hole, it is part of International Continental Drilling Program's infrastructure and open for science, be in contact with me!

Frontiers | Epilithic Microbial Community Functionality in Deep Oligotrophic Continental Bedrock The deep terrestrial biosphere hosts vast sessile rock surface communities and biofilms, but thus far, mostly planktic communities have been studied. We enri...

This publication describes the microbial communities (bacteria and fungi!) attaching the rock surfaces (mica schist) in the #deepbiosphere of Outokumpu. #geomicrobiology #SEM #microscopy #microcosms
www.frontiersin.org/journals/mic...

There's a whole bunch of papers that have come out describing the #deepbiosphere in crystalline bedrock fluids in Outokumpu, for example bg.copernicus.org/articles/13/...

Naturally occurring volatile organic compounds in deep bedrock groundwater - Communications Earth & Environment A range of non-methane volatile organic compounds was identified in more than 500 m depth in groundwater-filled Precambrian bedrock fracture zones, along with indicators of microbial metabolism, using...

The Outokumpu Deep Drill Hole draws attention now because of a new publication about volatile organic compounds found from different depths of the bedrock fluids, see Kietäväinen et al. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I'm in TV! I was at Outokumpu last week, showing the Outokumpu Deep Scientific Drill Hole to reporters from YLE. areena.yle.fi/1-72548948 #deepbiosphere #voc #groundwater #deepdrillhole #geomicrobiology
