Global S-wave imaging of the Earth mantle – SEISGLOB
We build new seismic models, with the aim to improve our knowledge of the mantle. We aim to provide elements of answers to several first order geodynamic questions, concerning the size of convection cells, vertical circulation and exchange of materials between upper and lower mantle or the presence
Global Research Council Holds Annual Meeting in New Delhi
Every year, the Global Research Council brings together the directors of research agencies the world over for a comprehensive discussion on research funding and transnational cooperation. This year’s event in New Delhi welcomed fifty leaders and international observers, including Michael Matlosz, Pr
Global Berkovich Spaces – GLOBES
In the project, we will approach the global analytic spaces from different points of view. First, we will carry out a local study of those spaces and prove results analogous to those that hold in the complex and p-adic cases. We will also try to understand the cohomology of coherent sheaves and even
Geofluids and Volatil elements – Earth, Atmosphere, Interfaces – Resources and Environment
VOLTAIRE (http://labex-voltaire.prod.lamp.cnrs.fr/) unites all the players on the Orléans campus (University of Orléans, CNRS, BRGM and INRA) interested in quantifying the origins, ?uxes and impacts of geo?uids, sourced from either the mantle or crust, and ultimately their role in the atmosphere, wi
Genetic Dating in the Post-Genomic Era – DATGEN
The advent of high-throughput genotyping technologies has revolutionized evolutionary biology and genetics. These fields are now inundated by massive quantities of data, as determining dense sets of genotypes from individual genomes is no longer an overly expensive and difficult task. In the next fe
Genetic Databases and Witnesses. Genealogy, Social issues, Circulation – FiTeGe
In a context of the increasing technicisation of police and legal investigations, the emergence of genetic analyses has substantially changed practices in this field. More generally, new professional tools are being developed, which evolve, give rise to new moral and political controversies, and cir
Genetic Clusters to determine Asthma risk and Treatment decisions – GenCAST
Asthma is a frequent disabling chronic respiratory disease. In France, asthma prevalence in children is 11%. Global asthma related costs are high ($81.9 billion in USA). It is a complex multifactorial disorder resulting from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Asthma is a hetero
Generating particle-like scattering states in absorptive wave transport – GePartWave
In a very recent work by one of the applicants it was shown how to systematically generate particle-like scattering states in wave transport through complex scattering systems [PRL 106, 120602 (2011)]. These beam-like states have a number of interesting properties like a highly collimated wave funct
Galactic Archaeology: A Radial Velocity Experiment to Unveil the History of the Milky Way – RAVE
RAVE (RAdial Velocity Experiment) is an ongoing and ambitious program to measure precise radial velocities and chemical abundances of a million nearby stars, using the UK Schmidt Telescope and the 6dF multi-object fibre spectrometer at Siding Spring Observatory (Australia). RAVE will be a giant leap
GEOVIDE, An international GEOTRACES study along the OVIDE section in the North Atlanctic and the Labrador Sea – GEOVIDE
The main objectives of the GEOVIDE project are to (i) better know and quantify the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and the carbon cycle in a decadal variability context, adding new tracers; (ii) map the Trace Element and Isotope (TEI) distribution with their physical and chemical speciation
