报告题目:Exploring algal lipid metabolism for a sustainable bioeconomy

报告摘要:

Microalgae are fast-growing microorganisms that have developed efficient mechanisms to harvest and transform solar energy into energy-rich molecules such as lipids. They are thus potentially great renewable cell factories for the production of fuels and biomaterials for the chemical industries. However, a central issue is the inverse relationship observed between cell growth and cellular lipid content, i.e., conditions favoring a higher oil content per cell often compromise cell growth and, therefore, lipid productivity. What makes the matter worse is that oil contents fluctuate in response to environmental cues. To find solutions to overcome these issues, we studied lipid metabolism and investigated the genetic, biochemical as well as environmental regulation of lipid metabolism in the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In this talk, I will present our current knowledge on the role of lipid metabolism in adaptation to a changing environment and discuss the exploration of this natural capacity for human benefit.

报告题目:Antarctic Surface Water Intrusion Triggering Seasonal Rapid Basal Melting of Drygalski Ice Tongue, East Antarctica

报告摘要:

Antarctic glaciers are losing ice rapidly to the ocean through basal melting of ice shelves/tongues. To better predict future sea level rise, it is urgent to detect the rapid basal melting of ice shelves/tongues as well as ocean’s role in this process. In this study, basal melting of Drygalski Ice Tongue (DIT), the seaward extension of David Glacier in Northern Victoria Land, East Antarctica has been detected using a surface deployed Autonomous Phase-sensitive Radio-Echo-Sounder (ApRES). The ocean water changes adjacent to DIT front have been revealed using an ocean mooring. The ApRES observations suggest a rapid basal melting > 10 m/a close to DIT front in February and mooring data shows a synchronous ocean warming in austral summer, indicating Antarctic Surface Water intrusion to the base of DIT. The mooring data has been used to simulate the basal melting of DIT front, which coincides with ApRES measurements. We conclude that rapid basal melting close to the tongue front was likely triggered by intrusion of Antarctica Surface Water in austral summer. Glacier-ocean interactions, such as glacier basal melting, can be detected from spaceborne, terrestrial and oceanic observations and are important processes to predict future sea level changes. To better understand the driving forces of glacier changes, multi-disciplinary observation and numerical modeling are required.
