Lecture by Geosciences Montpellier and theGaïa Doctoral School.
Christine Lerrede’s research focuses on cyclostratigraphy, particularly the study of paleoclimatic cycles and their implications from the Mesozoic to the Quaternary. However, this lecture will focus primarily on her teaching activities, which encompass the study of the current climate, its mechanisms, and its evolution.
To mark Global Climate Action Day, we propose that she lay out the scientific basis of global warming. Her presentation will be primarily scientific and educational.
She will therefore provide an update on the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the latest advances in climate prediction models, and various greenhouse gas emission scenarios, which will allow her to present model outputs reflecting both optimistic and pessimistic projections.
To then open the discussion on the political and social aspects, she will present the latest findings that served as the basis for COP 24, as well as the positions of the various participating countries and those that have stepped back.
Christine Leredde is a senior lecturer at the Géosciences Montpellier laboratory and the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier, in the Earth, Water, and Environment Department. Christine earned an engineering degree from Centrale Marseille with a specialization in Marine Engineering, along with a Master’s degree in Marine Environmental Sciences, with a focus on physical oceanography, from the University of Luminy in Marseille. She then completed her dissertation between Cerege and Luminy. After a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Laboratory of Geophysics and Hydrodynamics in Drilling in Marseille, she joined the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier as a senior lecturer specializing in Logging. She is currently the program director for the Bachelor’s degree in Earth Sciences, specializing in Geosciences: Pollution Prevention and Treatment.
