Challenges of multi-professional working within one English Higher Education Institution: ‘We hit a giant’: is this a shared experience?

This paper discusses the process and outcome of an innovative qualitative research approach evidencing the lived experiences of a group of academics who were confronting what they felt at the time to be the indisputable extinction of their network. In an effort to provide a constructive response to the academics’ despondency and lack of agency, one colleague, Tom, suggested using a creative approach to enable individual voices to be heard, acknowledged and appropriately shared. Utilising this consideration, the findings from a collection of personal narrative reflections were thematically analysed, snipped and re-situated in order to create a poem telling and highlighting the elements academics considered were the key drivers for their frustrations and disillusionment

On the computation of the Basal Envelope Surface of Talwegs using the Analytic Element Method

The stream network is a major feature of a landscape, conveying water, sediment, and solute from hillslopes to the ocean. Noticeably, from a large-scale point of view, the elevation of the talwegs of perennial streams is an important head boundary condition for both surface and groundwater flow originating from hillslopes. Assuming a wireframe (1D) representation of talweg lines, the problem of interpolating elevation between talwegs has received attention for applications such as flood mapping using Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND, [Nobre et al., 2011]), or groundwater level interpolation in low-conductivity aquifer systems. In this study we propose an alternate definition of this large-scale base level concept introduced by [Wyns et al., 2004], namely the Basal Envelope Surface of Talwegs (BEST) and the associated Height Above the Basal Envelope Surface of Talwegs (HABEST), along with a procedure to compute it using the Analytic Element Method (AEM). It can be defined as the head distribution satisfying Laplace equation (Darcy flow with vanishing divergence), with stream segments set as Dirichlet boundary conditions. The BEST is thus the real part of a complex analytic (holomorphic) function which can be modeled using analytic slit elements, with very low computational requirements and without the need for kriging, as it is often seen in the literature. This analytic model is extended to the case of a non-zero, uniform divergence flow (head distribution satisfying a Poisson equation) which can be useful to analyse groundwater levels at catchment scale

"Candidatus Subterrananammoxibiaceae," a New Anammox Bacterial Family in Globally Distributed Marine and Terrestrial Subsurfaces

Bacteria specialized in anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) are widespread in many anoxic habitats and form an important functional guild in the global nitrogen cycle by consuming bio-available nitrogen for energy rather than biomass production. Due to their slow growth rates, cultivation-independent approaches have been used to decipher their diversity across environments. However, their full diversity has not been well recognized. Here, we report a new family of putative anammox bacteria, “Candidatus Subterrananammoxibiaceae,” existing in the globally distributed terrestrial and marine subsurface (groundwater and sediments of estuary, deep-sea, and hadal trenches). We recovered a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome of this family, tentatively named “Candidatus Subterrananammoxibius californiae,” from a California groundwater site. The “Ca. Subterrananammoxibius californiae” genome not only contains genes for all essential components of anammox metabolism (e.g., hydrazine synthase, hydrazine oxidoreductase, nitrite reductase, and nitrite oxidoreductase) but also has the capacity for urea hydrolysis. In an Arctic ridge sediment core where redox zonation is well resolved, “Ca. Subterrananammoxibiaceae” is confined within the nitrate-ammonium transition zone where the anammox rate maximum occurs, providing environmental proof of the anammox activity of this new family. Phylogenetic analysis of nitrite oxidoreductase suggests that a horizontal transfer facilitated the spreading of the nitrite oxidation capacity between anammox bacteria (in the Planctomycetota phylum) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria from Nitrospirota and Nitrospinota. By recognizing this new anammox family, we propose that all lineages within the “Ca. Brocadiales” order have anammox capacity.publishedVersio
