What role do clouds play in climate change? | Symposiums, conferences and debates

Come meet and ask your questions to an academic!

Meeting with Sandrine Bony, member of the Academy of Sciences, Tuesday December 10, 2024 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Everyone recognizes the importance of clouds for meteorology. But do we know enough about the extent to which clouds also matter for climate and climate change? How will clouds respond to increased greenhouse gases, and how will this influence climate change in turn? These questions are at the center of the uncertainties in future climate projections. Come discover how researchers approach these questions and try to provide answers, and you will no longer look at the sky the same way.

Sandrine Bony is a CNRS research director at the Dynamic Meteorology Laboratory in Paris. She studies the role of clouds in the climate using numerical simulations, space observations and in-situ measurements, notably from airborne campaigns that she organized in the tropics to resolve certain enigmas linked to the role of clouds. in climate change.

She is a member of the Academy of Sciences in the Universe Sciences section.
