snow antarctic mean isotopic record

the impact of climate change is the largest in polar regions due to multiple feedback loops leading to polar amplification in antarctica short meteorological time series hamper our ability to evaluate the climate variability at interannual and decadal scale and in particular the one linked with the anthropogenic climate change it is also not clear though whether climate variability in polar region will increase despite significant consequences on the global climate system in this proposal i will evaluate how climate variability in antarctica varies for changing climatic conditions using ice core isotopic composition 18o dexcess and 17oexcess the objectives of this project are to study the climate variability thanks to a large network of ice core records at high resolution and high precision a large number of ice cores are available through large european projects beyond epica oldest ice beoi eaiist but the analytical platform to measure all this ice at high precision is missing by implementing the new generation of infrared spectrometer in an ice core measuring line we will be able to increase both the throughput and precision and measure triple isotopic composition on a large number of cores and resolve the climate variability in antarctica

advancing crip reproductive justice understanding women with intellectual disabilities experiences of reproductive control in spain

in 2020 spain abolished the widely practised and legally permissible forced sterilisation of spanish women with intellectual disabilities wid marking a new era of disability reproductive justice and bringing the medical and familial reproductive control of wid to the forefront of sociopolitical awareness this project advancing crip reproductive justice is the first anthropological investigation of their experiences and examines how the new legislations promissory note of inclusion regarding reproductive selfdetermination has made a difference in the lives of spanish wid it also explores what a future in which wid are supported to reproduce might look like working across disciplinary boundaries of medical anthropology disability studies and speculative fiction the criprj study ultimately seeks to answer what kinds of criprepro futurities are possible when we start from a place in which disability is seen as productive and valuable instead of as deficient and something to avoid at all costs

structure and functions of terrestrial phycospheres

microscopic algae release organic compounds to the region immediately surrounding their cells known as the phycosphere constituting a niche for colonization by heterotrophic bacteria these bacteria consume algal photoassimilates and provide beneficial functions to their host in a process that resembles the establishment of microbial communities associated with the roots and rhizospheres of land plants phycosphere communities have been well studied in aquatic environments where they are known to play important roles in nutrient and energy fluxes for many species of algae interactions with their associated phycosphere bacteria can also provide beneficial functions often mediated by metabolic exchanges despite the known importance of these associations in aquatic environments their role in terrestrial ecosystems and parallels with the root microbiota of land plants have not yet been resolvedthe goal of this project is to employ a newly developed reductionist hostmicrobiota system based on the model chlorophyte alga chlamydomonas reinhardtii to study the structure and functions of terrestrial phycospheres and identify the core ecological principles that explain the overlap between the root and phycosphere microbiota using a variety of gnotobiotic systems and synthetic communities composed of phycosphere bacteria we will study the genetic and molecular mechanisms that drive hostmicrobiota interactions in c reinhardtii and as well as their evolutionary origins and conservation in other lineages of green algae and land plants finally we will design and build synthetic phototrophic microcosms based on terrestrial phycospheres using bioreactors to explore the ecological and molecular mechanisms underpinning microbiota diversity stability and functions this project has the potential to reveal fundamental quantitative principles governing the dynamic behaviour of hostassociated microbial communities
unravelling the mechanisms behind multiyear droughts

recent decades have seen a doubling in multiyear droughts around the world with longlasting impact on streamflow groundwater and vegetation these negatively affect agriculture drinking water supply hydropower shipping and ecosystems as a result the ipcc states that contrary to normal droughts multiyear droughts cause abrupt changes that take years or decades to be reversed due to climate change multiyear droughts are projected to become more frequent and longer and potential recovery times between droughts will decreasei hypothesise that the rise in multiyear droughts and their impacts is caused by stronger teleconnections between the atmosphere ocean and land enhanced by climate change and that feedbacks between the biohydrological cycle exuberate the impacts of multiyear droughts the multidry project will make scientific breakthroughs by tracking the propagation of multiyear droughts from climate forcing through vegetation and soil moisture to surface water and groundwater impacts whilst also including the important intricate affects of human water use in multidry i will combine observations with a novel modelling framework to unravel the drivers behind multiyear droughts worldwide and the feedbacks of vegetation and human water use on drought duration propagation and recovery this will yield new process understanding novel scientific datasets and a basis for reliable projections of future multiyear drought eventsthis project will drastically improve our understanding of the drivers and mechanisms of multiyear droughts that i believe to be fundamentally different from those of normal droughts the multidry results will inform policymakers and water managers around the world on future water challenges multidry will also provide the fundamental understanding needed to quantify future drought vulnerability around the world help to improve drought preparedness and improve global hydrological modelling of drought

health embalming and dating investigating life and death in ancient egypt

in ancient egypt death was the beginning of a new life and the body was the anchor for the soul complex mummification practices and burial rituals were needed to ensure a successful transition to the afterlife these have so far mainly been explored through the study of texts and archaeological contexts which are principally focused on the elites however thanks to scientific advances in the study of human remains it is possible to make the life of underrepresented categories of egyptian people come to the foreheads through a collaboration with the museum of anthropology and ethnography of the university of turin maet offers the unique opportunity to study a relatively unexplored section of society including adult and juvenile males and females from the low and middle classes of two key archaeological sites in egypt assiuit and gebelin four methods will be employed to generate a clearer picture of their past and provide the maet with new datasets lipid residue analysis palaeoproteomics ct scanning and radiocarbon dating these will be applied to 1 identify the ingredients and procedures used in embalming and how these differ based on body parts 2 characterise the health of the deceased and 3 date the remains identification of biological sex and ageatdeath will further elucidate how gender and age influenced treatment in death and healthin answering these questions heads will be the first comprehensive biomolecular study on the mummified remains from the maet using an innovative multidisciplinary approach that goes beyond the current stateofthe art the combined methodologies will allow heads to paint a detailed picture of mummification practices and the past health of an ancient lower and middleclass egyptian population and place these within a robust chronological framework filling lacunae in our knowledge of the nonelite egyptian community
