UABDivulga - Barcelona recerca i innovació

Wednesday:

Plant phenology, such as the timing of bud burst in spring for trees or the timing of flowering in many species, shows strong plastic responses to a warming climate. These phenological traits also often show rapid genetic evolution in the context of a changing climate and there has been discussion about the potential of such adaptive changes to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. In this talk Ophélie Ronce will summarize the findings of several modelling studies conducted in a large collaborative project, which have shed light on this issue by using various theoretical models combining quantitative genetics with ecology to address these questions.

The seminars combine online and onsite formats, but in all cases talks will be always streamed (not recorded), so that they can be followed online.

In this talk, Mar Mezcua presents the black holes of 100 to 100,000 solar masses formed at redshifts of z < 20, which are currently the best candidates to be the seeds of the first supermassive black holes that feed the detected quasars. at z ~ 6–7. Until now, the study of this high redshift population has only been possible by investigating possible local relics of those that did not become supermassive, which can be found in the local Universe as intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in dwarf galaxies. . Mar Mezcua will show how radio interferometric observations have been key to identifying and characterizing IMBHs that are actively accumulating in the local Universe and up to z ~ 3. The next generation of radio telescopes like the SKA will open a new window in black hole detection. seed in birth, probing the formation pathways of the first quasars in the Universe.

On May 6^th  and 7^th 2022, the first Bioblitz will take place on the UAB campus. A BioBlitz is a participatory citizen science event that aims to record as many species of living things as possible at a specific site during a given time. Bioblitz provide observations and contribute to enriching biodiversity databases for research. Between all of us we will update the biodiversity data of the UAB. We work and study in a privileged place in the middle of the Vallesana plain, in a space of paramount importance for the conservation of biodiversity and as a connector between the coastal and pre-coastal mountain ranges.

You will be able to register and collaborate in the sampling of different groups of plants and animals with the help of experts and field biologists who will teach us how to study the different types of living beings. At the same time, you may be lucky enough to personally meet other species with which we share the campus.

Stay tuned for when registrations open.

The project is funded by the FAS (Autonomous Solidarity Foundation), in collaboration with the Environment Office of the UAB (Autonomous University of Barcelona)

Next Friday, May 13 at 1:00 p.m., in commemoration of the International Day of Light, the conference "Infrared lasers: the dark side of the Day of Light" will take place in the Assembly Hall of the Faculties of Sciences and Biosciences. charge of Professor Luis Roso.

May 16 commemorates the International Day of Light. From gamma rays to radio waves, the light spectrum offers us insights into both the origin of the universe and the technologies that have shaped our society. It is an annual celebration that provides an opportunity to further appreciate the essential role that light plays in the lives of citizens of the world in the fields of basic sciences, education, culture and art, and sustainable development. At the same time, it gives continuity to the achievements made in highlighting the importance of science and technology and their applications to promote education, improve the quality of life throughout the world and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set in the 2030 Agenda.

Luis Roso is director of the Center for Pulsed Lasers (CLPU) and Professor of Optics at the University of Salamanca. He has a degree in Physics and Mathematics from the UB and a Ph.D. in Physics from the UAB. He was responsible for the first Spanish terawatt laser (2003) and the first and only Spanish petawatt laser (2016). In this conference, Professor Ros will talk about the potential applications of infrared light systems such as the Salamanca petawatt laser as particle accelerators. In addition, the new paths that these systems are opening to observe the quantum vacuum and dark matter will be explored.

The forests are part of the nature of the country, they are expansive and never stand still. We have almost doubled the forest area. The amount of biomass accumulated annually depends on the type of forest and this invites the capacity to burn and light to increase. They are filled with vegetable fuel, with a high propagation capacity. Martí Boada, ICTA-UAB researcher, will explore these issues in a talk at the Barberà del Vallès.
