SUMMARY:Phytoplankton Need Their Vitamins Too: Microbial Interactions and Nutrition at the Base of the Food Web in a Changing Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Erin Bertrand\nAssistant Professor\nDept. of Biology and Canada Research Chair in Microbial Proteomics\nDalhousie University \nMarine phytoplankton are responsible for roughly half of global net primary production\, support marine food webs and play critical roles in the global carbon cycle. Phytoplankton often require exogenous sources of specific organic and organometallic micronutrients for growth; these compounds appear to originate largely from co-occurring microbial communities. In some cases\, the availability of these compounds can limit the growth of phytoplankton or drive changes in community composition. The most well-characterized examples in marine systems are cobalamin (vitamin B12) and thiamine (vitamin B1). Recent developments suggest that there are a series chemical transformations of micronutrient-related compounds\, conducted by different\, co-occurring marine microbial groups\, which result in a broad chemical repertoire of nutritional factors that can support primary production. This chemical repertoire is poorly characterized and not currently predictable from genomic information. Here we’ll explore two specific examples of these interactive\, microbially- mediated chemical transformations of micronutrients and present hypotheses about the key microbial groups involved. We will then examine proteomic and transcriptomic approaches to identify and quantify the role of these micronutrients and their transformations in sustaining marine primary production in the changing Northwest Atlantic and Southern Ocean. We’ll conclude by discussing implications for future ocean carbon cycling and human access to nutrition from the sea. \n\nPolycom availability with Darling Marine Center\, Gulf of Maine Research Institute\, and Bigelow Laboratories \nHost: Aaron Strong (aaron.strong@maine.edu)

SUMMARY:Direct observations of cavitation in plants
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alexandre Ponomarenko\nHarvard University \nDr. Alexandre Ponomarenko is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He is a physicist fascinated by plants and how they achieve the movement of large amounts of sap in the xylem. In particular\, Dr. Ponomarenko is interested in how this mechanism fails during severe droughts. He will present observations of cavitation in leaves\, sap channels and branches and discuss what it tells us about how cavitation propagates in plants during droughts. \nAll are welcome! Refreshments served at 3:00 PM. \nFor information : Dr. John Zhang\, yongjiang.zhang@maine.edu\nSponsored by the School of Biology & Ecology as part of the 2017 Fall Seminar Series

SUMMARY:The Once and Future Battles of Thor and the Midgard Serpent  (or the Southern Ocean’s Role in Climate)
DESCRIPTION:The School of Earth and Climate Sciences presents \nDr. Joellen Russell \nUniversity of Arizona \nFloats deployed by oceanographers are giving us all ringside seats to the epic battle between the wind and the deep ocean around Antarctica which will determine the rate of atmospheric warming over the next century. The poleward-shift and intensification of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds – in the past and present – has been shown to provide a connection between the surface ocean and the atmosphere with the deep ocean. This “doorway” allows the vast deep ocean reservoir to play a significant role in the transient global climate response to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases\, even as the surface ocean warms. Coupled climate and earth system models at low and high resolution all simulate poleward-shifted and intensified Southern Hemisphere surface westerly winds when subjected to an atmospheric carbon dioxide doubling. Comparisons of these simulations reveal how stratification\, resolution and eddies affect the transient global climate response to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases – and our collective fate. \n  \nBryand Global Sciences Center\, Room 307.
