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.
Researchers will explore northern systems at every scale, from the microscopic (microbiomes), to the mesoscopic (biodiversity, infrastructure), and the macroscopic (permafrost, ecosystems, societies), combined with the development of powerful digital models, as well as a new generation of optical sensors with multiple networking capabilities.
