Área de investigación: Cambio climático y paleoclimas.

Clima y Dinámicas Socioambientales launch Orcid launch

Descripción: Los esfuerzos de investigación de su grupo de investigación giran en torno a tres temas principales:  

1. Reconstrucciones climáticas empíricas. Los archivos paleoclimáticos, como los testigos de hielo y turba, así como los testigos de sedimentos marinos y lacustres, permiten reconstruir la variabilidad climática en el pasado. En particular, mi grupo de investigación se centra en los aerosoles de polvo y su efecto climático directo e indirecto.  

2. Modelación climática. Utilizamos modelos globales del sistema terrestre, modelos del sistema terrestre de complejidad intermedia y modelos de evaluación integrados para probar hipótesis sobre el cambio climático pasado, presente y futuro.  

3. Impactos del cambio climático. Examinamos los efectos del cambio climático a una escala más regional, centrándonos en las tendencias de sequía y los eventos extremos para comprender sus implicaciones para los ecosistemas locales y los recursos hídricos. 

Estudiantes de pregrado, postgrado o postdoctorales, pueden ponerse en contacto con el profesor Fabrice Lambert, si están interesados en el desarrollo de investigación.
