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 foundations of global warming. Her presentation will be primarily scientific and educational.
She will therefore provide an overview of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the advances in the latest predictive models, and the various greenhouse gas emission scenarios, which will allow her to present the model outputs, including both the so-called 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 opted out.
Christine Leredde is a senior associate professor at the Géosciences Montpellier laboratory and the Montpellier Faculty of Sciences, in the Earth, Water, and Environment Department. Christine earned an engineering degree from Centrale Marseille, specializing in Marine Engineering, along with a DEA (Master’s degree) in Marine Environmental Sciences, with a concentration in physical oceanography, from the University of Luminy in Marseille. She then completed her doctoral thesis in collaboration with 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 at Montpellier as a senior lecturer specializing in logging. She is currently the program director for the Earth Sciences bachelor’s degree program, specifically the professional track in Geosciences: Pollution Prevention and Treatment.
