The climate, climate change, and more generally, upheavals of the Earth’s environment, each year raise a number of both fundamental and applied questions. As we gain in awareness of how man affects the “Earth system” and of the urgent need to initiate profound changes, an in-depth understanding of environmental mechanisms and their reactions to various human disturbances has become essential. IPSL is a unique place for scientific exchange at the intersection of many areas of expertise which come together to meet the ever-growing demand for knowledge, training and the development of innovative solutions to protect the environment.
