In 2018, CREA Mont-Blanc launched a series of scientific seminars open to the public.\u00a0Once a month (typically on a Tuesday), you are invited to the Mont-Blanc Observatory , home of CREA Mont-Blanc <\/strong>to meet researchers studying issues that affect the mountains.\u00a0 As the name \u201cScience Sandwich\u201d would suggest, the conference series occurs midday, from 12:30 to 1:30, and you are encouraged to bring your lunch with you.\u00a0 \u00a0Seminars occur in both French and English depending on the topic and the speaker.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 2019 Science Sandwich: \u201cWill our glaciers make a comeback in the foreseeable future, or should we be getting out our swimsuits instead?\u201d with Luc Moreau, glaciologist, Chamonix Glaciology Association, in the footsteps of Joseph Vallot<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Science Sandwich # 5 \u2013 POSTPONED Tuesday, November 10th <\/s>(in French)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0CHAMOUNY: using a role-playing game to envision different adaptations to the environmental crisis\u00a0\u00bbWith Nicolas Nova, <\/a>Associate professor at HEAD Geneva and co-founder of the Near Future Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chamouny is a research project at the intersection of anthropology and design, aiming to create a role playing game that uses a study of the Chamonix Valley to allow players to understand and anticipate the stakes of adapting to environmental crises. The game will take an innovative approach to the ecological transition<\/em>, proposing a participatory and prospective approach to imagining future lifestyles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to allow for maximum social distancing, this Science Sandwich will take place at Plan B <\/a><\/strong>\u00e0 Chamonix. In accordance with COVID-19 restrictions, signups are mandatory <\/strong>(please e-mail hgerardi@creamontblanc.org) and masks are required<\/strong>. As a result, you unfortunately cannot eat during the conference. Plan B is proposing a selection of sandwiches and snacks at a reduced price, and you are also still welcome to bring your own lunch to eat there before or after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will be posted in the following weeks on our Youtube<\/a> channel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science Sandwich # 6 \u2013 POSTPONED Tuesday, December 8th<\/s> (In French) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Stone pines taking flight: a discovery of the spotted nutcracker – a bird that gives trees wings!\u00a0\u00bb with  <\/em>No\u00e9mie Bugnon<\/a>, BS HES-SO in Gestion de la nature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spotted nutcracker (also known as the Eurasian nutcracker) survives winters in the mountains thanks to stashes of nuts that it collects from stone pine trees.  By hiding the nuts across the extent of their territory, the nutcracker allows these trees to reach high summits, making them the highest tree found in the region.  Join us at this conference, which will present No\u00ebmie\u2019s work during bachelors, and discover the highly specialized relationship between these two species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, March 24th (in French).<\/s> POSTPONED to a later date. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0What can we learn about biology from mountain-dwelling plants?\u00a0\u00bb with Dr. S\u00e9bastien Lavergne<\/em>,<\/a> Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine, CNRS \u2013 Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to what many people imagine, the high mountains are not devoid of living things. Instead, they are home to discreet and largely unknown ecosystems full of plants, arthopods, arachnids and micro-organisms. Join us to learn how studies of these high mountain ecosystems, and specifically their plants, can provide new and unexpected naturalistic discoveries, and shed new light on some of biology’s biggest questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, April 14th <\/s>(in French). POSTPONED to a later date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Why understanding human relationships is key for coexisting with large carnivores.\u00a0\u00bb with Lou Lecuyer,<\/a> Institut national de recherche pour l\u2019agriculture, l\u2019alimentation et l\u2019environnement<\/em> (INRAE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions can often arise around the subject of protection of large carnivores (which are known to occasionally attack livestock). Managing conflicts between different interest groups is key for the conservation of these often threatened species. This Science Sandwich will draw parallels between a case study managing jaguars in Mexico and the protection of large carnivores in France, challenging us to go beyond technical and biological questions, and dive into human relationships and the tricky subjects of justice, trust and tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infos pratiques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have lots of opportunities to meet the CREA Mont-Blanc team in 2020! Pack your sandwich and hike over to the Mont Blanc Observatory to join us as we learn more about what\u2019s going on in the mountains around us.  Seminars will be led both by researchers from CREA Mont-Blanc as well as visiting academics eager to share their passion for flora, fauna and mountain environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a researcher visiting Chamonix and interested in meeting the CREA Mont-Blanc team and\/or sharing your work at a Science Sandwich conference, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to us<\/a>!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
