As part of its DD&RS strategy and its commitment to better address the challenges of climate change, Mines Saint Etienne is pleased to welcome, on Wednesday, November 16, Pascale Braconnot, rapporteur for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). She will give a conference, open to all, as part of the curriculum for first-year engineers in the ICM Programme.
Her presentation will focus particularly on climate issues, both globally and in relation to human activity. She will also clarify basic concepts in climatology, as well as climate models, their hierarchy, and the resulting projections for stakeholders.
Pascale Braconnot is a member of the joint scientific committee of the World Climate Research Programme and participates in the drafting and evaluation of the 4th and 5th IPCC reports.
Research Director at CEA and a member of the Climate and Environmental Sciences Laboratory within the Pierre Simon Laplace Institute, she is also a “climate” project manager at the CNRS Institute of Universe Sciences. She particularly studies past climates to better understand the role of interactions between energy, water, and carbon cycles, and how climate variability at interannual to decadal scales varies with changes in mean climate.
In 2009, Pascale Braconnot received the Milutin Milanković Medal from the European Geophysical Union.
