Ramiro Logares and Anders Krabberød, EVOGENE

Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday Jan. 27th @ 12:15 in Aud 3 in the Geology building.

We will have a “mingle” meeting. There will be updates from Kristine and Luc on the running of the institute. But fear not, there will also be plenty of time for informal chat and eating of cake. All are welcome to the lobby on the first floor.

This Friday, the 27th of January, we will discuss a paper by Haber and Dworkin from 2017 called "Disintegrating the fly: A mutational perspective on phenotypic integration and covariation"

Hope to see you there!

The existence of an electric dipole moment (EDM) of an elementary particle is a  quantity which violates time reversal (T-) symmetry. Trusting the CPT-symmetry valid in all local quantum field theories, EDMs are also CP-violating quantities. Therefore studies of EDMs give important information on the matter anti-matter asymmetry in the universe. Within the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, EDMs are small and given by (higher) loop effects and through the Cabibbi-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) CP-violating phase. Experimentally  only bounds on electron, muon, proton and neutron EDMs are  determined. Theories beyond the SM typically contain more sources of CP-violation than the SM. Therefore calculations of EDMs within such theories will put bounds on the parameters of such  (hypothetical) theories. [continued below]

We review the  searches for dark matter namely, direct, indirect and collider, emphasizing the importance of complementary strategies and discuss how one can eventually unveil the nature of dark matter.

Kristin Sæterdal Myhra at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: Modelling Permafrost Conditions in Steep Mountain Environments

Doctoral candidate Kristin Sæterdal Myhra at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Overview of permafrost and related geomorphological processes in arctic and alpine regions

The earliest documented plague pandemic in Europe, the Plague of Justinian, occurred in the 6th century. However, a recent study by Rasmussen et al. (2015) found plague in Eurasian individuals from the Bronze Age, suggesting that plague was in Europe before the first recorded pandemics. In this journal club, we will discuss a paper by Valtuena, et al. (2016) that presents additional prehistoric Y. pestis genomes.

5 of our wonderful master students will present their projects with five-minute presentations.
