While working on the thermophiles/hyperthermophiles part of the presentation, I found this resource which might be helpful for all of us: http://serc.carleton.edu/microbelife/extreme/environments.html
It's called "Microbial Life Education Resources" and is a compilation made by the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College. It includes all of the extreme environments we are researching as well as several others. Worth a look if you need some more ideas for your papers.

Algal Biomass and Melting Arctic Sea Ice

Here's a paper discussing algae that grows on the underside of arctic sea ice and its export due to the ice melting, as well as how it contributes nutrients so microorganisms can live in the cold arctic environment. Might be useful for the psychrophile section of the paper.

Psychrophile Applications Paper

And here's another paper about scientific applications of psychrophiles: kaboom.

Psychrophile Paper

Hey, just wanted to share a nice paper I found from Western Washington University regarding psychrophiles and psychrotrophs. Bam.

Bill Nye and "The Big Think"

I haven't found any episodes of Bill Nye: The Science Guy featuring Bill talking about extremophiles (I'm going to keep looking though!), but I did find this video by "The Big Think."

I think we could possibly use part of this video (from about 1:36 on) as a closing to our presentation, talking about how the existence of extremophiles has great implications regarding the existence of life on other planets, even planets within our own solar system. 

Project Description

The group will cover the following classifications of extremeophiles: halophiles, acidophiles, thermophiles/hyperthermophiles, and psychrophiles. We will explore the various aspects of each extremeophile classification as well as any scientific or technological applications. 

Meet Richard Hoover: Extremophile Hunter

"Astrobiologist Richard Hoover really goes to extremes to find living things that thrive where life would seem to be impossible--from the glaciers of the Alaskan Arctic to the ice sheets of Antarctica."

And some cool space stuff is discussed, too. Check it out!
