Edouard Bard
Climate and Ocean Evolution
" Edouard Bard's opening lecture, delivered at the opening of the Climate and Ocean Evolution Chair in 2002, has lost none of its relevance today. It reminds us that global warming has long been a concern for part of the scientific community, which had already had a wealth of well-founded data for decades. Through a description of the history of the climate, the author combines the complementary approaches of paleoclimatology, oceanography and geology to better analyze and contextualize the global warming that the climate and oceans are undergoing today. This seminal text sounds like a warning that echoes contemporary concerns about the major climatic issues of our time. "
