Michail Iakimov (CNR-ISP): Postgenomic Functional Analysis of Nanohaloarchaea: Haloarchaea Associations   -   Locandina
Breve Descrizione: the presentation will focus on a recently discoveredform of microbial life, namely the previously overlooked but nonetheless globally distributed nanosized organisms (200-500 nm) of the archaeal “DPANN” superphylum. A multifaceted study of metabolic functions, ecology, and complete genome characterization of a nanohaloarchaeon, Candidatus Nanohalobium constans, co-cultured stably in association with its haloarchaeal host, Halomicrobium sp was recently published by us. We experimentally established and confirmed the ecological and physiological basis of this trophic interaction, which, in what we believe, is the first example of mutualistic archaeal symbioses occurring between intimately connected organisms.

ISP di Venezia in collaborazione con Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia organizzano due seminari che si potranno seguire sia in presenza (a Venezia-Mestre) che online. (Per info Andrea.Spolaor AT cnr.it)

17 maggio 2022  2:00 p.m - Dr. Rachael Rhodes (University of Cambridge) - Title: Reconstructing past sea ice variability: can ice cores help?

Join Zoom Meeting - Meeting ID: 870 5240 1545 Passcode: 0u436a

Abstract: Sea ice is a critical component of Earth's climate and biogeochemical cycles. Relatively large and abrupt changes are possible, leading to significant positive feedbacks. Many argue that such changes have occurred in the past. Here I examine how the geochemical signal preserved in polar ice cores can help reconstruct past sea ice behavior over a range of time scales.

Lagorio Serena

Lagorio Serena Marine biologist and oceanographer, Serena got three degrees from different universities: the undergraduate in Biological Sciences at the University of Genova, the master in marine biology at the University Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona, another master in 'Applied Physical Oceanography' at the University of Malta. She studied in detail the algae reproduction as well as the anchovies reproduction, while her specialisation as a marine biologist was about the study of the Sperm whales' acoustic. She wanted to protect the oceans and who lives in them, therefore in Malta she specialised into the study of the plastic pollution, with the use of a drone, deriving from an oceanic input as well as from humans, as a definition of a non education about the environment. Furthermore, her desire to know more in detail about other cetaceans species brought her for different summer seasons to Husavik, Iceland, working as a whale watching guide. From the humpback whales and the blue whales to the curiosity of knowing more about the ice, while looking at the glaciers in Iceland. Since then, she became a PhD student at the University of Ca' Foscari of Venice, in collaboration with the University of Milan-Bicocca, where she is studying the RICE ice core, in particular the fossils that she is finding into the core and the reason why they are there.

SIOS in cooperation with the National Research Council of Italy offers a training course on metrology in Svalbard. The participants will learn about general and applied metrology with special focus on data quality for environmental observations, WMO measurement guidelines, terminology and uncertainty evaluation prescriptions.The training course will cover specific aspects of metrology for instruments and observing sites in the Arctic. The training will be delivered by Prof. Andrea Merlone, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, National Research Council of Italy.

Stazione Dirigibile Italia15 Maggio 2022 - Un edificio cangiante, di colore marrone rossastro, che si confonde con i colori della terra in estate e domina sul bianco della neve in inverno. Una costruzione in legno tipicamente norvegese che costituisce un piccolo angolo della ricerca italiana nell’estremo nord.

Tutti coloro che sono passati da qui non hanno mancato di farsi una foto davanti alla targa affissa all’esterno, tutti quelli che hanno partecipato a un collegamento con i ricercatori in base ricordano il divanetto blu e le pareti rivestite di legno all’interno della stazione. Stiamo parlando della Stazione Artica Dirigibile Italia, l’avamposto della ricerca scientifica italiana a Ny-Ålesund, che oggi compie 25 anni. Un anniversario che riempie di orgoglio la comunità scientifica nazionale e del CNR in particolare. (Continua a leggere..)

Pubblicato un nuovo studio su Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry dove sono riportati dati sulla distribuzione di 16 idrocarburi policiclici aromatici (IPA) ed alteratori endocrini (AE, nonilfenoli e bisfenolo A) nei sedimenti marini artici (Kongsfjorden-KF, Isole Svalbard, Norvegia) e la valutazione di rischio per le specie bentoniche legata alla loro presenza. I risultati hanno confermato che il long-range transport e la fusione dei ghiacciai sia marini che terrestri (tramite il fiume Bayelva) giocano un ruolo chiave nell’immissione di contaminanti persistenti nel fiordo. Per la prima volta è stata dimostrata l'influenza del villaggio e del porto di Ny-Ålesund sull’andamento spaziale degli AE. La valutazione di rischio ecologico effettuata sulla base delle concentrazioni misurate ha rilevato un basso rischio per gli organismi bentonici artici. DOI:10.1002/etc.5334 (Francesca Spataro, Jasmin Rauseo CNR-ISP)

A new study, reporting data on the distribution of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs, nonylphenols and bisphenol A) in Arctic marine sediments (Kongsfjorden-KF, Svalbard Islands, Norway) and the risk assessment for benthic species related to their presence, has been published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. Results confirmed that long-range transport and melting of both marine and terrestrial glaciers (Bayelva River) play a key role in the input of persistent contaminants into the fjord. For the first time, the influence of the village and the port of Ny-Ålesund on the spatial trend of EDCs was shown. The ecological risk assessment based on the measured concentrations revealed a low risk for benthic organisms.
