Astrobiology Magazine’s Henry Bortman is in the field this week alongside scientists and astronauts who are working on the Pavilion Lake Research Project (PLRP). The team is studying microbialites, carbonate structures that line the lakebed and are usually not found in freshwater lakes. This field report looks at the complex process of communicating with scientists as they explore underwater. With Astrobiology Magazine, ask questions of researchers in the field, and watch their video responses.
