Research at IPSL
Since 2019, research at IPSL has been organised around different scientific research themes, supplemented by cross-functional activities (computing and observation centres, communication and mediation, climate services and education).
In Earth observation - space missions, observation services, multi-instrumented observatories, major measurement campaigns and regional projects, measuring of geochemical tracers - IPSL plays a dual role: a coordination role at the Île-de-France level and a data and service centre for the National Atmosphere Data Centre.
The objective of the IPSL Climate Modelling Centre is to study physical, chemical and biogeochemical aspects of the Earth’s climate. It brings together modelling teams from the various IPSL laboratories who study the different parts of the climate system (atmosphere, ocean, continental surfaces, cryosphere) and their couplings. Studies focus on the functioning of the climate system, its variability and climate change, whether of natural origin or due to human activities.
