The cryosphere harbours diverse microbial communities which are contributing to the global carbon
budget. Various ice ecosystems like ice covers of freshwater lakes, sea ice and supraglacial areas are
highly sensitive to temperate rise due to resulting enhanced availability of liquid water which is the
prerequisite for life. To assess the overall importance of these communities we require a non-invasive
tool which provides high resolution measurements of photosynthetic pigments such as phycoerythrin.
Here we present the preliminary calibration processes for L.I.F.E. (laser induced fluorescence
emission).
