Bruce Mountain, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences
This site features research from Bruce Mountain at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS) in New Zealand. The research focuses on the effects of temperature, pH, oxidation state and mineral surfaces on the decomposition of amino acids, in order to produce new thermodynamic and kinetic data for the stability of these molecules. The site provides links to additional geomicrobiology research programs at GNS and further GNS information including research, services, GNS for kids, and the GNS store.
