Prévision et spatialisation des concentrations en ozone troposphérique en Bourgogne

2006

This PhD done in the Centre de Recherche de Climatologie, UMR 5210 CNRS of University of Burgundy has been supported by the Conseil Régional de Bourgogne, and the AASQA of Burgundy (Atmosf'Air). The ozone, a poison gas, is the core of this research because it is considered as one of the major worrying atmospheric pollutants in this region. We have conducted a study focused on hourly concentrations of measured ozone over several years for 12 stations. Their spatial and temporal variability are related to some features outside of the region (ground-level ozone, synoptic-scale conditions) and inside of the region (physical properties, land cover, meteorological features and precursor potential…

Conditions atmosphériques associées aux chutes de grêles en Bourgogne.

2020

A network of 96 hail pads is installed in Burgundy since 2014. Hailfalls in this part of France are mainly recorded from Avril to September and usually at the end of the afternoon when the surface air has been warmed enough to trigger an upward lift. Atmospherically speaking, hailfalls in Burgundy are associated with southward winds blowing from the Mediterranean Sea (Gulf of Lions) according to a strong negative barometric anomaly centered over Germany and extended southwestward until the south of Spain. A weak northwestward wind is at the same time also blowing until the northern part of Burgundy creating a thermal air-mass conflict and therefore a convective available potential energy wh…

Phenological model performance to warmer conditions: application to Pinot noir in Burgundy.

2014

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aim</strong>: The current work aims to assess the performance of two phenological models - a linear model (<em>Grapevine Flowering</em> <em>Véraison</em> model, <em>GFV</em>) and a curvilinear model (<em>Wang and</em> <em>Engel</em> model, <em>WE</em>) - to warmer temperature conditions for the grapevine variety Pinot noir in Burgundy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods and results</strong>: Simulations using historical data from the 1973-2005 period were similar between models and consistent with observations. To mimic pot…

Gestion du pâturage au printemps en système bovin allaitant : diversité des pratiques en Saône-et-Loire

2009

National audience; Grazed grass is the cheapest forage for making meat'. In order to incite farmers to make their forage systems more self-sufficient and thrifty, the 'Chambre d'Agriculture de Saone-et-Loire' (a professional agricultural organization for that departement) has been monitoring for five years the management of spring grazing on 23 farms. The analysis of farmers' practices lead to considerations as to put to the best use the grazed grass, according to the pedo-climatic conditions and the constraints of the farms. With the aim of optimizing the pasture resources in order to limit the purchase of concentrates and to cope with the climatic hazards, the study of the management of s…

The "very loyal pinot": historical trajectory of a mythic grape variety of Burgundy

2019

Grape varieties began to appear in historical sources at the end of Middle Ages. In Burgundy, early mentions of pinot correspond to an evolution in the way wines were named. From the 14th century onwards, pinot wines have persistently demonstrated to express elements of superior quality. This variety is often offered at expensive prices due to the nature of its rarity, and as a result is commonly reserved explicity for the élites. However, it is suggested that the roles of The Dukes of Burgundy, concerning the promotion of grape varieties, is to be moderated. Therefore, if Philippe le Hardi’s proclamation condemns « the very bad and very disloyal plant called gaamez » then, it is evident th…

The standing of the Southern Côte-d’Or in the evolution of the early Iron Age funeral practices in Burgundy and Franche-Comté

2014

This work is a synthesis of tumuli graves in Burgundy and Franche-Comté from Hallstatt C to La Tene B periods. The objective is to characterize the funeral assemblages in Southern Côte-d’Or as well as the influences and the tendencies that went through this area during the early Iron Age. A set of comparisons shows the particularities of the Southern Côte-d’Or at several levels: the recruitment of the populations, the position and orientation of the deceased, the architecture of the graves and their internal arrangements, the typology and positions of the personals items, the nature and locations of the deposits. These various leads allow reconstituting costumes and mortuary practices, as w…

The use of Burgundy stone from ancient times to the present day

2014

International audience; Burgundy stone is widely reputed for its quality and diversity. Because it is suitable for the various requirements of construction and sculpture, it has been used continuously since ancient times. Inventories drawn up so far by researchers have been piecemeal. A new comprehensive inventory has now been undertaken with a view to renewing the involvement of various academic disciplines (archaeology and history of architecture, socio-economic history and history of art). A partnership has been formed among various laboratories at the University of Burgundy in order to ensure the validity of archaeological and historical data, develop an open platform in the form of a W…

Crémations et monument funéraire campaniformes à Genlis « le Nicolot » (Côte-d'Or, France)

2021

The building of the high-speed rail track linking the Rhine to the Rhone led to the discovery of two Bell Beaker burials in an Iron Age cemetery located in the plain to the east of Dijon. The Tilles plain is an alluvial environment, shaped by the valleys of the Tille and the Ouche and populated since Late Prehistory, particularly during the Bell Beaker and Early Bronze periods, which have yielded settlements located on the rivers. These burials are the first funerary features discovered in the area.The two Bell Beaker cremation burials excavated at Genlis "le Nicolot" are remarkable, as still too little is known of the funerary practices of the period in the east of France and in particular…
