Remote Sensing of Ground Deformation for Monitoring Groundwater Management Practices: Application to the Santa Clara Valley During the 2012–2015 California Drought
Estelle Chaussard,Pietro Milillo,Roland Bürgmann,Daniele Perissin,Eric J. Fielding,Brett J. Baker +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the response of the Santa Clara Valley (SCV) aquifer in California to the unprecedented 2012-2015 drought was studied using COSMO-SkyMed data with revisit intervals as short as one day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomic inference suggests mixotrophic lifestyle for Thorarchaeota.
TL;DR: These genomes from deep anoxic layers suggest the presence of Thorarchaeota with the potential to degrade organic matter, fix inorganic carbon, reduce sulfur/sulfate and produce acetate, and may be involved in ethanol production, nitrogen fixation, nitrite reduction, and arsenic detoxification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic versatility of small archaea Micrarchaeota and Parvarchaeota
Lin-Xing Chen,Celia Méndez-García,Celia Méndez-García,Nina Dombrowski,Luis E. Servín-Garcidueñas,Emiley A. Eloe-Fadrosh,Bao Zhu Fang,Zhen Hao Luo,Sha Tan,Xiao Yang Zhi,Zheng-Shuang Hua,Esperanza Martínez-Romero,Tanja Woyke,Li Nan Huang,Jesús Sánchez,Ana Isabel Pelaez,Manuel Ferrer,Brett J. Baker,Wen-Sheng Shu +18 more
TL;DR: The results expand the understanding of these elusive archaea by revealing their involvement in carbon, nitrogen, and iron cycling, and suggest their potential interactions with Thermoplasmatales on genomic scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial iron uptake as a mechanism for dispersing iron from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
TL;DR: It is shown that microbial genes involved in cellular iron uptake are highly expressed in the Guaymas Basin deep-sea hydrothermal plume, indicating that iron minerals are the target for this microbial scavenging and uptake and suggesting new mechanisms for generating Fe-C complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Roles of Uncultivated Bacterioplankton Lineages in the Northern Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone"
J. Cameron Thrash,Kiley W. Seitz,Brett J. Baker,Ben Temperton,Lauren E. Gillies,Nancy N. Rabalais,Bernard Henrissat,Bernard Henrissat,Bernard Henrissat,Olivia U. Mason +9 more
TL;DR: The nGOM shelf remains one of the largest eutrophication-driven hypoxic zones in the world, yet despite its potential as a model study system, the microbial metabolisms underlying and resulting from this phenomenon—many of which occur in bacterioplankton from poorly understood lineages—have received only preliminary study.
