Earthquake early warning using detection of gravity perturbations during fault rupture – E-GRAAL
The objective of this project is to study the feasibility of an earthquake early-warning system based on the detection of gravity perturbation during the first few seconds of fault rupture. Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS) are automatic devices (composed of seismometers and communication syst
Real-time forecasting system of coastal and inland floods in tropical cyclone prone areas – SPICy
With its Overseas Territories, France is present in three of the seven cyclonic basins (North Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Ocean). The local authorities are regularly faced to cyclonic crisis situations whose frequency should possibly increase with climate change. However, they currently don’t
How tree-based family farms can adapt to global changes? – HEVEADAPT
Tropical tree plantations provide indispensable renewable goods to the global market and family farms represent the majority of their surface area and production. To ensure the sustainability of plantation systems, environmental and socio-economic conditions should remain favorable during several de
Soils, Structures and Hydraulics: Expertise and Applied Research – SSHEAR
The scouring process represents a significant contributing factor in the destabilising and destruction of civil structures (bridges, earth embankments and buildings) during major flood events, yet our understanding of the mechanisms involved remains highly empirical. The main objective of the SSH
Predicting the flow in the floodplains with evolving land occupations during extreme flood events – FLOWRES
The contributions of “human activities (such as increasing human settlements) and climate change to an increase in the likelihood and adverse impacts of flood events” are clearly stated in the European Flood Directive (EU, 2007). These changes must be taken into account when assessing the flood haza
Network REsilience, viability, SUStainability – RESUS
The objective of the network is to consolidate and expand new European and international collaborations for developing and improving viability theory tools applied to problems of sustainable management. * development of nesw collaborations on viability theory related research * submission of a eur
Emergence and evolution of ancient agroecosystems in Greater Iran: Biodiversity, impact and legacy – KHARMAN
Emergence and evolution of ancient agroecosystems in Greater Iran: Biodiversity, impact and legacy In the framework of an international research project entitled KHARMAN (‘harvest’ in Persian) we will aim at reconstructing past human-plant and animal interactions in the area of Greater Iran. Our
Management and Risk analysis of an Invading plant Species (Ulex europaeus (L.)): how socio-ecological niche with population dynamics modelling under a wide range of climate can help – MARIS
This analysis will be based on the results of three subparts: ecological study sociological study and modeling of population dynamics. The comprehensive study of the ecological niche of the species will be sub-target to better understand the conditions for its installation and its persistence in th
Rates of the processes controlling the morphologic and environmental changes in the Mont-Blanc massif – VIP-Mont-Blanc
This project aims at better understanding the impact of the climate change on the morphologic and environmental processes in the Mont-Blanc Massif (MBM), with particular focus on the reduction of glacier surface-area, rock-fall increase related to permafrost warming and downstream changes of water a
Movements for the transition towards a frugal society. Raising awareness, Knowledge transmission, sociotechnical experimentations and communities of cooperation. – SYMBIOS
Résumé (non confidentiel) du projet en anglais The research project aims at exploring the logics and practices of valuation and evaluation promoted by social movements supporting the transition towards a frugal society, as they are expressed in their discourses and in the forms of production, cons
Governing the environment: historical perspectives on socio-environmental property systems (Late 18th century-present, Europe, the U.S.A, the colonial and post-colonial worlds) – GOVENPRO
This project investigates the history of the environmental governance by means of property, from the late 18th century to the present, with a focus on three particular settings: Europe, the U.S.A. and the colonial and post-colonial worlds. We use this phrase to designate the range of practices, know
The Early POSTseismic deformation: A key process in the earthquake cycle. From observation to modeling. – E-POST
Earthquake occurrence is mainly controlled by the time evolution of crustal stress. Postseismic transient processes strongly contribute to stress redistribution after an earthquake and to the generation of catastrophic seismic sequences. It is thus crucial to understand their complex space and time
Adaptive capacity, resilience, and coral reef state shifts in coastal social-ecological systems – ACRoSS
Coral reefs provide critical ecosystem services but evolve under specific disturbance regimes exceeding the system’s adaptive capacity. In contrast to the Caribbean, some Pacific Island communities exhibit higher levels of local social-ecological resilience. Such societies appear to be able to confi
Trans-disciplinary collaboration to investigate volcano plumes risks – STRAP
STRAP is a project for trans-disciplinary collaboration to investigate volcano plumes risks. It involves volcanologists and atmospheric scientists of four “Observatoires des Sciences de l’Univers INSU-CNRS” (OSU-R, OPGC, IPGP and OMP). All volcanic plumes can cause environmental, economic and societ
