Dissertation title: Dispersal, succession and stability of microbial communities in glacier forefields in the Swiss AlpsAfter my master’s degree in geology and molecular biology at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) I started a Phd at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). The objective of my dissertation was to assess the ecological stability of microbial communities in two unvegetated alpine glacier forefields of different geology (siliceous vs. calcareous) in the Swiss Alps.- Design and execution of intense field sampling campaigns in high alpine regions - DNA extraction from air and soil samples for microbiological fingerprinting and sequencing- Analytical Microbiology and Molecular Biology- Next Generation Sequencing with Illumina MiSeq- Mineralogical and elemental composition of soil and dust with XRF, XRD and EDX-SEM- Soil nutrient analyses with Ion-chromatography- Biostatistical analysis of big sequencing datasets with R and visualization- Publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals- Teaching at University level (IP Boden, Environmental Microbiology)- Oral and poster presentations at international and national conferences- Supervision of Masters students- Design, organize and correct written exams for Aquatic Ecology
