Extreme climates and analogues : the Holocene optimum (continued)

Edouard Bard conducts research at the interface of climatology, oceanography and geology in his laboratory in Aix-en-Provence (CEREGE). The main objective is to document and understand the functioning of the ocean-atmosphere-cryosphere-biosphere system on time scales ranging from a few decades to several million years. In his lecture, he will focus on extreme climates and current analogues, as it is imperative to place the global warming of the last century in a broader temporal context in order to determine its singularity and distinguish the underlying causes, both natural and anthropogenic.
