The LSCE

The LSCE is a laboratory (UMR 1572) related to the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin (UVSQ). It is located at two sites (Saclay and Gif-sur-Yvette). With about 300 people (150 permanent), the LSCE is a part of the Institute Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL), which federates several laboratories involved in climate and environment studies. Three research axes are developed :
• natural climate variability at different time scales and interactions between human activity, environment and climate,
• processes involved in the carbon cycle, greenhouse gases, aerosols interacting with climate,
• geochronology and geomarkers, with several techniques applied to studies of the geosphere and interactions with climate.

NOBEL PRIZE 2007 for Peace: The LSCE was associated to the 2007 Nobel Prize.
Former US vice pdt Al Gore and IPCC have received the 2007 Nobel Prize for Peace, for collection and diffusion of knowledge on climatic changes due to human activity, and for initiating mitigation proposals.
Several researchers from the LSCE have participated as main authors, or as contributors, to the last IPCC report.
