Workshop 2023:

From Single Cells to Ecosystems Scales -

Connectivity between Microorganisms and their Environment

Organizers: Marco Polin (IMEDEA), Soeren Ahmerkamp (MPI-MM), Lars Behrendt (SciLifeLab), Klaus Koren (Aarhus University)

Janine Steffens will present "A practical approach to quantify the overall carbon storage and its current ecological state of one peatland area: case study Rostock", a 30' speak. You can check the abstract here. 

Afterwards, there will be soft drinks and beers for all attendees.

This cycle of seminars aims at sharing the research carried out at the institute to all members and visitors. PhD candidates, MSc students and junior postdocs are particularly encouraged to participate in the seminars, which will also offer an opportunity to foster their communication skills.

Abstract: Floods resulting from extreme sea levels are among the costliest natural hazards, causing tens of billions of dollars in economic losses globally each year. Without adaption, such losses are certain to worsen in the decades ahead as sea level rises. Adaptation plans are key to reducing this vulnerability while also avoiding costly overprotection measures. However, their success relies on knowledge of how changes in mean climate affect the likelihood of extreme sea-level events. This effect can occur through both changes in storminess and changes in mean sea level (e.g., sea-level rise). While the effects of sea-level rise on extremes are easy to quantify, the role of changes in storminess is challenging to determine owing to low signal-to-noise ratios. Here, I will demonstrate that spatial coherence in sea-level extremes can be leveraged using Bayesian methods to drastically improve signal-to-noise ratios, allowing confident detection and attribution of changes in event probabilities. I will show that, contrary to the prevailing view, trends in surge extremes and sea-level rise both made comparable contributions to the overall change in extreme sea levels in Europe since 1960. The trend pattern of storm surge extremes reflects a combination of a north–south dipole associated with internal climate variability and a single-sign positive pattern related to anthropogenic forcing. These changes are consistent with a strengthening and eastward extension of the North Atlantic storm track, leading to increased storminess over Northwestern and Central Europe.

Francisco M. Calafat is a senior scientist at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in the UK and a former Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (2011-2014). He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of the Balearic Islands in 2010. Francisco is interested in the physics of sea-level changes, the influence of climate change on extreme weather and, increasingly, the transport of heat by ocean circulation. He is currently the NOC PI on the Sea-level CCI+ project focusing on understanding regional influences on global mean sea level, NOC PI on the 4DAtlantic project to quantify ocean heat transport using satellite data, and Co-I on the EPOC project to explain and predict the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

El Instituto Mediterráneo de Estudios Avanzados y el Sistema de Observación y Predicción Costero de las Islas Baleares (ICTS SOCIB) presentarán el corto documental “Del espacio al Mediterráneo: Persiguiendo corrientes marinas”.

Este trabajo es el resultado de una serie de grabaciones que tuvieron lugar durante la segunda campaña del proyecto FaSt-SWOT y cuya misión consistió en tomar mediciones de corrientes oceánicas a través de instrumentos oceanográficos autónomos, como son los planeadores submarinos o las boyas de deriva amadrinadas por centros educativos de Baleares.

Tras la proyección, se abrirá un espacio de charla coloquio presentada por Tona Pou y en la que participarán parte del equipo científico de la misión —Ananda Pascual, Baptiste Mourre, Bàrbara Barceló-Llull, Benjamín Casas, y Lara Díaz-Barroso— y el director del corto documental Nathan Siegel. 

El acceso es abierto y gratuito (sin reserva previa). Aforo limitado a 50 personas.
