Helge Løseth at the Department of Geosciences will be defending hisdissertation: Interpreting seismic data to identify and characterize Organic Rich Shales, Hydrocarbon Leakage, Sand Remobilization and Regional Geology

In the Macroevolution and Red Queen Journal Club on Friday 15th we will discuss Hiroshi C. Ito et al. 2009 paper on food-web development, 'Coevolutionary dynamics of adaptive radiation for food-web development'.

Doctoral candidate Helge Løseth at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on a chosen topic: Organic rich shales, fluid flow and the rise of the Norwegian mountains, interpreted and characterized on seismic data

Doctoral candidate Helge Løseth at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on a given topic: Deposition, triggering, and rise of evaporites in space and time

This week we will meet and discuss a paper on convergent macroevolutionary landscapes and Anolis radiations by Mahler et al. published in Science earlier this year.

Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday November 8.

Torstein Bringmann, Department of Physics, UiO.

This Friday we will discuss Carl Simpson's 2013 paper on species selection and macroevolutionary change, "SPECIES SELECTION AND THE MACROEVOLUTION OF CORAL COLONIALITY AND PHOTOSYMBIOSIS".

This Thursday we will meet and discuss genome-wide patterns of introgression and how divergence evolves during the speciation process. The paper of the week is entitled "Hybridization Reveals the Evolving Genomic Architecture of Speciation" (Kronforst et al. 2013, Cell Reports). The authors have compared full genome sequences of five species of hybridizing Heliconius butterflies to gain insight into how the genome diverges during speciation.

Abstract: We will begin by reviewing and constructing power operations in the familiar setting of chain complexes. In stable homotopy, these operations help distinguish different geometric objects. These operations are also the residue of a rich homotopical structure. We will also define such structure and explain its role in stable homotopy theory. Specifically, we will consider what structure on a filtration might give rise to power operations in the associated spectral sequence, if time allows. This first talk will be accessible to graduate students.    Such power operations also act on the homotopy of highly structured ring spectra. We will compute these operations on relative smash products using the Kunneth spectral sequence. We will interpret the homotopy of these relative smash products and the algebra of operations in terms of different realizations of highly structured DGAs. We will also discuss the relation to the relevant notion of cotangent complexes.
