A global catalog of extreme sites shaping microbial life, from hypersaline lakes to hydrothermal systems. These environments hold novel biology with potential applications in climate, biotechnology, and human health.
Sites are provided for research and planning purposes only. Sampling may require permits, local collaboration, and compliance with national regulations, including the Nagoya Protocol.
Search and filter below. Data align with the Extreme Environment Microbiome Catalog (EEMC) (Nature Communications, 2026). Local additions stay in your browser.
