OREME conferences in December!
On December 5 and 14, OREME (the Montpellier Environment Research Observatory, an internal school at the University of Montpellier) is organizing a series of short, multidisciplinary conferences aimed at raising awareness and promoting discussion on the issue of climate change at Planet Océan and on the Triolet campus of the University of Montpellier.
December 5 at Planet Ocean: "Latest news from the James Webb Space Telescope: from project design to groundbreaking initial results"
Planet Ocean Montpellier and the Research Environmental Research Observatory (OREME) are joining forces for a unique series of conferences. Combining their expertise, Planet Ocean, dedicated to entertainment but also to the exploration and preservation of environmental heritage, and OREME, a key player in climate change observation, promise an immersive experience. Together, they will raise public awareness of the challenges of biodiversity conservation and heritage management. This unique collaboration, combining scientific knowledge and an educational approach, aims to inspire and educate, thereby strengthening commitment to environmental preservation. A promising partnership dedicated to understanding the world and raising awareness of current challenges.
Free conference, registration required
The conference in a nutshell
Professor astrophysics at the University of Montpellier, Eric Josselin is a specialist in stars at the end of their lives. His research is based on observations ranging from the visible to the radio spectrum, including infrared. This has led him to use data from major infrared missions such as IRAS (NASA) and the Infrared Space Observatory (ESA). From the project's conception to its first revolutionary results, Eric Josselin will give us an update on the much-talked-about James Webb Space Telescope.

The conference in a nutshell
After laying the scientific foundations for global warming, we will review the latest advances in forecasting models and the various GHG (greenhouse gas) emission scenarios. The presentation of model outputs, with optimistic and pessimistic forecasts, will open the discussion on the political and social aspects, including the choices made by the various participants at COP 27 (Egypt, 2022).
Christine Leredde is a lecturer at the Montpellier Geosciences Laboratory, part of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier in the "Earth, Water, Environment" teaching department. She is a geophysicist specializing in drilling measurements, particularly as applied to paleoclimatology.
Practical information:
- Date: Thursday, December 14, 2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Location: Lecture Hall 02, Building 36 (ground floor), at the main entrance to the Triolet campus, Place Eugène Bataillon, University of Montpellier
