This week Bill leads us to some circles and rings on the northern Ontario landscape which underlines the importance of science
When you locate a mystery on the back roads you look forward to solving it even though you can’t see it on the ground!
Perfect, he will know about these strange features seen only from above. A word of warning stay with the science. “We have done additional research and published a few papers on the subject. It appears that we were right in our speculation that bacteria are key to generation of the forest ring features.
This is the use of microbes to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater, the boreal forest of northern Ontario is a repository of soils and aquatic sediment where geobacter thrive. Applications Since these are mini 'geo batteries,' I wondered if we could we harness this energy. Stewart politely replied, “Not unless you devise a Matrix-like system for harnessing tiny amounts of bioenergy and nobody has done that yet.”
