Glacial lake outburst floods enhance benthic microbial productivity in perennially ice-covered Lake Untersee (East Antarctica)

Large periodic glacial outburst flood events replenish inorganic carbon concentrations and fuel the primary productivity of benthic microbial communities in the perennially ice-covered Lake Untersee.
