Paleoclimatology podcasts

Alexandra Delbot reçoit Laurent Chauvaud et Frédéric Olivier pour explorer les coquilles de bivalves comme archives des milieux marins. La discussion explique comment les stries de croissance et leur composition chimique renseignent sur l’âge, la température, la salinité et les climats passés. Elle aborde aussi les pollutions, les perturbations acoustiques et les réponses biologiques des mollusques, envisagés comme indicateurs des changements de leur habitat.

Polar scientist Sarah Das describes fieldwork on the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, from expedition logistics and ice-core drilling to transporting frozen samples to the laboratory. The conversation explains how ice cores preserve climate records and how repeated visits reveal retreating glacier margins and earlier melt seasons. It connects the practical work of glaciology with measured changes in polar landscapes.
