"[S]cientists are now exploring techniques to separate salt from water more efficiently, using electricity, new materials and solvents. With a wide range of brine chemistries to tackle and a host of different goals, there isn’t one “killer” technology, says Shihong Lin, an environmental engineer at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. “This is like a thousand different problems,” says Lin."

"Jill Mikucki, Ph.D. studies one such analog site: Blood Falls in the McMurdo #DryValleys of #Antarctica. There, a briny, #subglacial #groundwater #ecosystem leaks iron-containing #brine to the surface... Mikucki has been working on subglacial environments for over 2 decades but is still stunned by some of her team's discoveries... the #microbial cells grow very slowly under the ice, possibly taking a year or more to divide."
