INHALE - projet

We propose a novel multidisciplinary approach combining expertise in microbiology, biomolecular microbiology, atmospheric chemistry and physics to characterize atmospheric microbial life on a global scale and how it relates to biogeochemical cycling.

INHALE is supported by the ANR Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR-15-CE01-0002-01)

INHALE seeks to characterize for the first time atmospheric microbial life on a global scale as linked with biogeochemical cycles.

Our specific goals are to :

Collect and gather a unique data base of atmospheric samples with large spatial and temporal relevance. We plan to investigate a North to South gradient of ten sites from the Arctic to the Antarctic. We will complete the exploration using a master site with high frequency measurements where atmospheric and clouds samples will be taken over the course of one year.

Determine the global dispersion of genetic material to provide data on the biogeography of the atmosphere. Atmospheric chemical composition combined with community composition and structure analysis will provide the data that are critical given that microbial diversity has a direct influence on a wide range of ecosystem processes and consequently on the quality of our environment.

Determine how the physics and chemistry of the lower atmosphere contribute to temporal and spatial variations in microbial community structures : identification of the main drivers that shape atmospheric microbial communities (transport, chemistry, particle physics, meteorology, etc)
