CREA Mont-Blanc has launched a series of scientific seminars open to the public.  One Tuesday per month, you are invited to the Mont Blanc Observatory, home of CREA Mont-Blanc, to meet researchers studying issues that affect the mountains.  As the name \u00ab\u00a0Science Sandwich\u00a0\u00bb would suggest, the conference series occurs midday, from 12:30 to 1:30, and you are encouraged to bring your lunch with you.   Seminars occur in both French and English depending on the topic and the speaker. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Adapt Mont-Blanc: How will climate change impact the Espace Mont-Blanc in the years to come?\u00a0\u00bb
With Brad Carlson, researcher at CREA Mont-Blanc and UIAGM Mountain Guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alps, and more specifically, the Espace Mont-Blanc, are home to densely-populated valleys and exceptional relief of over 4,000 meters from valley floor to summit. But this unique territory is warming twice as quickly as the rest of the Northern Hemisphere.  Today, the question facing the inhabitants, elected officials, economic actors and other stakeholders in the valleys around Mont-Blanc as well as the elected officials is \u00ab\u00a0how will climate change impact natural environments and human activity in coming years and decades?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the EU Alcotra project Adapt Mont-Blanc, and in collaboration with scientists and decision-makers in all three of Mont-Blanc’s border nations, CREA Mont-Blanc is working to provide some responses to these complex questions that will help communities prepare for the future.  This Science Sandwich will provide an overview of observed and anticipated changes in climate with a special look at the projected evolution of biodiversity, glaciers, permafrost, tourism, agriculture and water resources.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Discovering the world beneath our feet\u00a0\u00bb
With Idaline Laigle, research engineer at CREA Mont-Blanc; completed a PhD on soil communities and their interactions with the environment. \n\nDuring this Science Sandwich, Idaline will help spark your curiosity about the little-known living world right under your feet.\nDid you know that in a temperate forest, there are an estimate one thousand species of invertebrates living in just one square meter of soil? And 5,000 species of bacteria and fungus?   But how do scientists manage to study such tiny and diverse organisms? And what makes them an important part of sustaining life on Earth? What threats are these misunderstood environments facing?\nAnd as a bonus, you’ll learn how good soil management can help you have a more productive and successful vegetable garden! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
