The conference in a nutshell

Eric Josselin is a lecturer and researcher in astrophysics at the University of Montpellier, specializing in end-of-life stars. His research is based on observations ranging from the visible to the infrared and the radio. This has led him to exploit data from major infrared missions such as IRAS (NASA) and the Infrared space observatory (ESA). From the conception of the project to the first revolutionary results, Eric Josselin will give us an update on the James Webb space telescope that is so much in the news.

The conference in a nutshell

After laying the scientific foundations of global warming, we'll take a look at the latest forecasting models and the different scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation of model outputs, with so-called optimistic and pessimistic forecasts, will open the discussion on the political and social side, with particular reference to the choices made by the various participants at COP 27 (Egypt, 2022).

Christine Leredde is a senior lecturer at the Géosciences Montpellier laboratory, attached to the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Montpellier in the "Terre Eau Environnement" teaching department. She is a geophysicist specializing in borehole measurements, particularly as applied to paleoclimatology.
