Wagnon Patrick

Glaciology

As a field glaciologist specializing in the Himalayas, I have set up a glacier observation network in India since 2002 and in Nepal since 2007, within the framework of the GLACIOCLIM observatory (https://glacioclim.osug.fr/). My research focuses on glacier mass balances in these regions, and their relationship with the current climate. I work in collaboration with local teams, and lead the High Mountains of Asia project at the IGE.

Arnaud Yves

Glaciology, Remote Sensing

I study Andean and Himalayan glaciers using remote sensing. My expertise is in the application of remote sensing to the evaluation of glacier surface and mass loss, but also to the study of the atmosphere.

Brun Fanny

Glaciology, Remote Sensing

My research work focuses on the measurement of mass changes of mountain glaciers. The originality of my approach is to combine both field measurements (to better understand glaciological processes) and spatial remote sensing measurements (to apprehend changes on a regional scale). I am particularly interested in the glaciers of Asia, the Andes and the Alps.

Remote sensing, snow

My research activities focus on the study of the physical properties of snow and ice by spatial remote sensing for the analysis of snow-glacial processes (space-time dynamics, water balances) in relation to climate parameters measured at the regional scale. The sensors used are in active radar (SAR) or optical mode and the resituated data are compared to in-situ measurements in order to model the target behaviours (albedo, snow depth, density).

Remote sensing

My research focuses on mountain glacier changes from remote sensing observations. I use a combination of modern satellite images, declassified spy satellite, and historical airborne/terrestrial photographs to study the response of glaciers to climate change over the 20th century. I measure in particular two important glacier features: 1) their volume changes to assess their contribution to sea level rise and water resources and 2) the ice flow velocity, which constrain the glacier geometry (…)

Climate Modelling

My research activity focuses on climate variability. I use climate models and observational datasets to study the climate response to external forcings: natural (such as volcanic eruptions), and anthropogenic (such as greenhouse gases and atmospheric aerosols). My investigations concern the climate of the past centuries as well as projections for the next century. I am particularly interested in the interactions between the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the cryosphere over mountainous (…)

Six Delphine

Glaciology

My research activities focus on the monitoring of mountain glaciers (mainly in the Alps) as an emblematic indicator of climate change. My research is based on a set of observations declined within the National Observation Service GLACIOCLIM, Service that I carry and coordinate. Today, my research activities are very largely oriented towards society with many applications for hydroelectric companies, tourism companies, government services, as to the future evolution of mountain glaciers. (…)

Vincent Christian

Glaciology

My research focuses on the relations between climate and the mass balance of mountain glaciers, the ice flow processes and the risks of glacial origin (water pockets, supra-glacial lakes and serac falls). Mountain glaciers are precious climatic indicators and this is the main reason for the GLACIOCLIM Observatory that Patrick Wagnon and I founded and which is now coordinated by Delphine Six. I often work with local communities or companies to try to answer questions related to the risks or (…)
