Application of mobile aerosol and trace gas measurements for the investigation of megacity air pollution emissions: the Paris metropolitan area
2013
For the investigation of megacity emission development and the impact outside the source region, mobile aerosol and trace gas measurements were carried out in the Paris metropolitan area between 1 July and 31 July 2009 (summer conditions) and 15 January and 15 February 2010 (winter conditions) in the framework of the European Union FP7 MEGAPOLI project. Two mobile laboratories, MoLa and MOSQUITA, were deployed, and here an overview of these measurements and an investigation of the applicability of such measurements for the analysis of megacity emissions are presented. Both laboratories measured physical and chemical properties of fine and ultrafine aerosol particles as well as gas phase con…
Convective hydration in the tropical tropopause layer during the StratoClim aircraft campaign: pathway of an observed hydration patch
2018
The source and pathway of the hydration patch in the TTL (tropical tropopause layer) that was measured during the Stratospheric and upper tropospheric processes for better climate predictions (StratoClim) field campaign during the Asian summer monsoon in 2017 and its connection to convective overshoots are investigated. During flight no. 7, two remarkable layers are measured in the TTL, namely (1) the moist layer (ML) with a water vapour content of 4.8–5.7 ppmv in altitudes of 18–19 km in the lower stratosphere and (2) the ice layer (IL) with ice content up to 1.9 eq. ppmv (equivalent parts per million by volume) in altitudes of 17–18 km in the upper tropo…
La conservation de la biodiversité et de la naturalité sont-ils des objectifs conciliables au sein du réseau des réserves naturelles
2008
Dans une définition étroite, la biodiversité ne transcrit qu’une des notions liées au fonctionnement de la Nature (organisation, complexité, spontanéité, continuités et diversité). Aujourd’hui, nombreux sont ceux qui expriment le besoin de gérer les forêts (ou les composantes forestières d'espaces naturels) suivant un principe impératif de naturalité et recherchent une vision intégrative et partagée sur tout ce que cela sous-entend. Les idées reçues sont nombreuses sur ce concept scientifique novateur et ses applications. Le colloque Biodiversité, Naturalité, Humanité - Pour inspirer la gestion des forêts a été organisé par le WWF France, Réserves Naturelles de France (RNF), le Réseau Ecolo…

Synchronous Early Holocene glacier behavior in the European Alps – Evidences from a new cosmogenic 10Be chronology of Argentière glacier (Mont-Blanc …
2018
Reconstruction of past glacier fluctuations is an important step towards the comprehension of glacier responseto past and future climate changes. Moraine deposits and roches moutonnées represent univocal geomorphicmarkers of advanced glacier extensions, and their dating using in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides is a valuableapproach for better constraining past glacier behavior.To better understand the past glacier fluctuations in the European Alps, this study focuses on the Argentièreglacier, located on the north-western flank of the Mont-Blanc massif (MBM) in the Western Alps, and hostingsome of the largest European glaciers. Here, gemorphological analysis and new 10Be exposure ages obta…

Calcul des contributions des incertitudes dans un modèle complexe de qualité de l'eau
2010
The quantification of uncertainty in integrated urban drainage water quality models is of paramount interest. Indeed, the assessment of the reliability of the model results for complex water quality models is useful for understanding the significance of the results. However, the state of knowledge regarding uncertainties in urban drainage models is poor. In the case of integrated urban drainage water quality models, due to the fact that integrated approaches are basically a cascade of sub-models (simulating sewer system, wastewater treatment plant and receiving water body), the uncertainty produced in one sub-model propagates to the following ones depending on the model structure, the estim…
