Thematic Project 2
Light is an essential vector of energy on Earth.
At high latitudes, the large seasonal variations in photoperiod and snow and ice cover cause significant variability in the availability and quality of light affecting ecosystems and societies.
One of the objectives of this thematic project is to study the propagation of light through different substrates, its interaction with matter, and its influence on physiology and biorhythms.
Thematic Project 1
The North, with its various interconnected networks, is a vast and complex system currently undergoing rapid climatic, ecological, social and economic changes.
The main objective of this Thematic project is to acquire a better understanding of the complex systems of the North, their internal logic and their mutual interactions.
