Pendant longtemps, les discussions sur le changement climatique n ' ont pas pris l ' océan en compte. Quel rôle l ' océan joue-t-il dans le climat et quels sont les impacts du changement climatique sur l ' océan? Trois chercheurs, Sabrina Speich, Gilles Reverdin et Benoît Meyssignac, reviennent sur deux problématiques, le réchauffement et l'élévation du niveau des océans. Les mesures effectuées par des marégraphes, puis des satellites ont démontré que le niveau de la mer est monté…

The Tonga mission takes you on board the Atalante, a French oceanographic vessel searching for shallow submarine volcanoes in order to understand and predict the effects of fluid emissions on marine life and the climate. The expedition, led by two researchers, Sophie Bonnet (oceanographer, IRD) and Cécile Guieu (oceanographer, CNRS), is analysing and studying the effects of the addition of trace elements from shallow hydrothermal springs to determine the potential impact on marine productivity…

For the International Polar Year, the CNRS and the French Polar Institute, Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV) have joined forces to produce podcasts on polar research. A Memory preserved in Ice? by Claude Lorius, glaciologist at the CNRS -Module 4: What climate in the future?

For the International Polar Year, the CNRS and the French Polar Institute, Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV) have joined forces to produce podcasts on polar research. A Farewell to the Ice Pack? by Marie-Noëlle Houssais, oceanographer at the CNRS Module 5: Is Man responsible for Global Warming?

For the International Polar Year, the CNRS and the French Polar Institute, Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV) have joined forces to produce podcasts on polar research. A Farewell to the Ice Pack? by Marie-Noëlle Houssais, oceanographer at the CNRS Module 4: Poles as Climate Change Watchtowers (The)?

Antoine Spire interviews Danièle Hauser, an environmental physics researcher and director of the CNRS laboratory LATMOS. She studies the surface of the oceans and its influence on climate.

An Ecotron is a device that enables scientists to simulate several climate parameters and control them to study miniature versions of given ecosystems. A team in France decided to study Arizona savannahs. Locked in hermetic climate chambers, they analyse different plants from the savannah after accurately calibrating the surrounding light, the irrigation system, and the composition of the atmosphere. Thanks to the collected data, the team will be able to forecast the ecosystem's reaction to any…

A video clip produced in conjunction with the publication of Sylvie Joussaume's book "Climat d'hier à demain" at the 2000 Salon du Livre in Paris. Sylvie Joussaume is director of research at the Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement (LSCE) in Gif-sur-Yvette. With its accessible style and illustrations which reflect both the current state of the world and the diversity and richness of available climate archives, as well as the most recent results from a rapidly…

For the International Polar Year, the CNRS and the French Polar Institute, Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV) have joined forces to produce podcasts on polar research. An endangered population? by Joëlle Robert-Lamblin, anthropologist at the CNRS Module 4: How are local populations adapting to global warming?

Profile of Sandrine Bony, winner of the 2018 CNRS Silver Medal. Researcher in the Study and Modelling of Climate and Climate Change team at the Dynamic Meteorology Laboratory (DR04).

Can human development continue at this pace without causing a loss of biodiversity? A group of researchers at the French Institute of Pondicherry believes so. By studying the impact of human activities on a biological hotspot in the South of India, they hope to find the key to a harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife.
