You are a bioengineer or a scientist and you want to learn more about the functioning of terrestrial environment? You are a climatologist and you want to learn more about glacial terrestrial environments? You are a chemist and you want to learn how stable isotopes can trace environmental processes? You have an interest in anthropogenic…
On Thursday 13th December at 13h, Pr. Meiyan Liang from the China University of Geosciences will give a seminar about “Reevaluate grain size effect on geochemical indices of loess-paleosol studies in China since Miocene” (room B240,Croix du Sud, de Serres, 2nd floor). Dr. Meiyan Liang has joined the research group ELIE/SOLS as an academic visitor for one…
On Thursday 22nd November 2018 at 11h30, Dr. François Fripiat from the Max Planck Institute will give a seminar about “European Seas in the Anthropocene and atmospheric CO2 during ice age” (room B240, Croix du Sud, de Serres, 2nd floor). François Fripiat has an expertise on the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients such as nitrogen, and is…
On 11th October 2018, the visiting scientist Dr. Kate Hendry from the University of Bristol, gives a seminar about “Glaciers, icebergs and silicon: Preliminary findings from the ICY-LAB research expeditions to SW Greenland” at 13h in room B059 Building Carnoy at UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve
François will present his results about “Seasonal variations of dissolved Ge:Si ratios in streams from the Aso caldera, Kyùshù, Japan” at the Goldschmidt conference in Boston
The work of Yolanda Ameijairas Marino in South Brazil about “Ge/Si ratios point to increased contribution from deeper mineral weathering to streams after forest conversion to cropland” has been published in Applied Geochemistry
At the end of June, Catherine, Elisabeth and Sophie participate to the 5th European conference on Permafrost in Chamonix to present results from the WeThaw project
Sophie participates to the Polar2018 conference in Davos to give a Keynote in the session “Biogeochemical cycling in the Polar Regions: Terrestrial and Ocean interactions“
From April 29th until May 16th, Catherine, Elisabeth and Sophie have been sampling in Alaska as part the WeThaw project
