Press release 26 March 2019 Climate scientists employed at Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL), Centre national de recherches météorologiques (CNRM, Météo-France/CNRS) and at “Climat, environnement, couplages et incertitudes” laboratory (CERFACS/CNRS), using means from CNRS, CEA, Météo-France, Sorbonne Université and IRD, announce today the release of new datasets that promise to provide fresh insights into past and […]

A blog post was published in Carbon Brief explaining why the very early results from the new generation of climate models under CMIP6 matter for adaptation and mitigation policies. Stay tuned.

LSCE and IPSL CMC are pleased to welcome Katsumasa Tanaka later this year as a MOPGA fellow. Katsumasa works in the field of climate and environmental science and policy. His broad career goal is to integrate various scientific theories and knowledge including uncertainties to provide useful input to climate and environmental policymaking. His main research […]

The IPSL CMC is recruiting a post-doc researcher for at least two years on reduced modelling of the Earth system in Paris as part of the European CONSTRAIN H2020 project. Details about the position are posted on the CNRS job portal and application should exclusively go through the portal.

The kick-off meeting of the H2020 Research Infrastructure project, IS-ENES3, took place on January 9-11, 2019 at Sorbonne Université in Paris. Entering in its third phase in January 2019, the Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling project, led by CNRS for IPSL, fosters collaboration between twenty-two European climate research institutions. The community […]

Myriam Khodri from LOCEAN-IPSL has secured a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant for her transdisciplinary CALDERA project, along with Markus Stoffel (Institut for Environmental Sciences, Geneva, Switzerland), Salvatore Di Falco (Institute of Economics and Econometrics, Switzerland) and Patrick Fonti (Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research). The four-year project aims at understanding and documenting […]

Guillaume Levavasseur (IPSL) and Alan Iwi (CEDA) have received an award for their « Exceptional contribution to CDNOT data challenges » from the ESGF Executive Committee. During this year, Guillaume and Alan have demonstrated week after week their ability to grasp and solve complex technical questions thanks to their thoroughness and technical skills. Without respite, they polished […]

IPSL is pleased to host the kick-off meeting of the IS-ENES3 project on 9, 10, and 11 January 2019.

Machine learning and the post-Dennard era of climate simulation Conventional computational hardware has reached some physical limits: the phenomenon known as ‘Dennard scaling’ gave rise to Moore’s Law, and many cycles of exponential growth in computing capacity. The consequence is that we now anticipate a computing future of increased concurrency and slower arithmetic. Earth system […]
