At the Laboratoire de Météorologue Dynamique – Ecole Polytechnique (LMD) in France, a 13-month postdoc position in atmosphericsciences/lidar physics is available. The position will be part of the task "development of a new standardized and fully automated algorithm for lidar characterization of PBL vertical structure at ICOS-atmospheric stations" within the ICOS-INWIRE project.

Le volume 4 du rapport "Le climat de la France au 21è siècle" a été rendu public, le 6 septembre. Ce document propose une « synthèse approfondie sur les scénarios de référence à considérer pour la mise en œuvre du plan national d’adaptation français au changement climatique ».

IPCC Report: A changing climate creates pervasive risks but opportunities exist for effective responses Responses will face challenges with high warming of the climate YOKOHAMA, Japan, 31 March – The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report today that says the effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans. The world, in many cases, is ill-prepared for risks from a changing climate.

  Scientific context: The motivation of the REMEMBER project is to understand and model the Mediterranean climate system and specifically the processes leading to heavy precipitation, floods, heat waves, droughts and sea-level rise, not only as separate processes within each Earth compartment, but as coupled mechanisms with feedback loops. This is crucial to characterize how these processes will respond to climate change, in order to make decision on development of adaptation strategies.
