Laboratory presentation
IPSL is a research institute in the environment sciences field. The institute gathers 9 laboratories located in the Ile-de-France region: CEREA, GEOPS, LATMOS, a LERMA team, LISA, LMD, LSCE and METIS. They share the common aim to understand the dynamical, chemical, biological processes of the oceans and atmosphere, the natural climate variability and his past and future evolution, the impact of human activities on the ozone layer or the planetary environments of Solar System objects.
The research activities of these laboratories are coordinated within 2 main units:
- the Climate Modelling Center (https://cmc.ipsl.fr/)
- the Earth observation unit.
The service ESPRI has specifically been created to manage the data collected, and make them easier to access, analyse and store.
