For the first time, cement degradation through time was considered in terms of CO2 absorption by researchers of the Laboratory for climate and environmental sciences (LSCE, Gif-sur-Yvette France, CEA/ CNRS/ UVSQ). This carbon sink, which  is growing rapidely has to be taken onto account.

An international group of researchers led by LSCE (CEA-CNRS-UVSQ) has published a thorough budget of methane sources and sinks* over the last decade in the Earth System Science Data journal, complemented by en editorial in Environmental Research Letters, both to be published on December 12 2016. These studies show that none of the scenarios of the 5th IPPC1 report correspond to the observed increase in methane concentrations.

Une équipe de recherche internationale menée par le Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l’environnement (LSCE, CEA‐CNRS‐UVSQ)1 publie un bilan complet des sources et puits2 de méthane. Selon cette étude, les émissions anthropiques de méthane représentent actuellement environ 60% des émissions planétaires.

PhD position on modelling climate change induced by cropland cultivation Background: The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) is seeking a motivated 3-years PhD student to study the relationships between agricultural production and greenhouse gas emission and sinks during the late 20th Century and for future scenarios.

Via Philippe Ciais .. The European Space Agency (ESA) CCI (Climate Change Initiative) project aims to generate a number of essential climate variables (ECVs) using satellite sensors. The CCI Fire Project will deliver new burned area time series over the period 2000-2017 using data from the MERIS instrument and other sensors.

In the framework of the « L-IPSL » LABEX “Large Project”, the excellence laboratory L-IPSL of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace offers a two-years post-doctoral position (with a possible one year extension) to build global, multi-archive and multi-tracer syntheses of available data for the last interglacial period (~130 – 115 ka) and selected intervals of the last glacial period, in particular abrupt events.

we kindly announce 10 open PhD positions (early Stage researcher) via the Marie Curie ITN "Ion-Molecule Processes for Analytical Chemistry Technologies" (IMPACT). One of them will be at LSCE ("Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds: Characterization in Various(agro) Ecosystems" ). Please contact Valerie Gros for any question (valerie.gros@lsce.ispl.fr)

Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (IPSL/LSCE), Gif-sur-Yvette, France Applicants are invited to submit a brief statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees to M. Gehlen (marion.gehlen@lsce.ipsl.fr).

Abstract Deadline There are just over two weeks to go until abstract submission for the Goldschmidt2016 conference closes on February 26th. The full list of sessions is available on the Program page of the conference website. Early Career Program In recent years, the Goldschmidt conference has increasingly emphasized programs aimed at scientists just starting out on their careers.

          Following on the Global Carbon Atlas project (http://www.globalcarbonatlas.org) organized by LSCE, we have developed a new data visualization using global CO2 emissions data from CICERO. With this application you can interactively explore the emissions of five major sources and their distribution over region and country (50 highest, year 2014). China, the US, Europe and India continue to be the world's top emitters in 2014.

 l'une au niveau Technicien Supérieur, AI et une autre au niveau ingénieur. Les deux offres peuvent convenir pour des "jeunes diplômes" sans expérience. Les postes sont à pourvoir au sein de l'équipe ICOS-RAMCES (service national d'observation des gaz à effet de serre), au LSCE sur le site de l'Orme des merisiers.
