Panieri giving talk at The Niels Bohr Institute

Associate Professor Giuliana Panieri has been invited to the internationally acclaimed research institution, Niels Bohr Institute,  to give a talk about tracking past methane emissions.

Text: Maja Sojtaric

Named after the famous Danish physicist, Niels Bohr Institute houses 10 research groups and 12 science centres at the University of Copenhagen. Scientific research is done in collaboration with many leading international research groups, and seminars at the Niels Bohr Institute are well renowned.

Giuliana Panieri, the Associate Professor at CAGE, is invited to give the talk:  Tracking methane emissions with benthic foraminifera

From the abstract: “Coupling of methane emissions with global climate throughout the recent geological history of the Earth is established. However, the contribution of different methane sources in the global budget is still a matter of debate. Marine and terrestrial methane both contribute to atmospheric methane, but the intensity, duration, episodicity, and areal distribution of these emissions are poorly understood, particularly in the marine environment. (…) One of the problems in the investigation of methane emissions in the sedimentary record is the scarcity of well-defined proxies that can be used to establish the timing of such events. Benthic foraminifera are an important component of biomass in the present oceans. In addition to their interest as indicator species living in the largest habitat on Earth, their tests have been used in isotope and trace element analysis aimed at reconstructing past environments.”

The talk will be given at the seminar at the Centre for  Ice and Climate, Friday 14th November 2014 at 13.00 hrs.

Fun fact:  The European Physical Society has declared the Niels Bohr Institute as a Historical Site with great international importance for developments in physics and research. The Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen was established in 1921 for the physicist and Nobel laureate, Niels Bohr, who in 1913 created the groundbreaking atomic model that formed the basis for our understanding of how the world is constructed, and later as the basis for quantum mechanics, which has revolutionised technological development.
