Cuvette Central Expedition – challenges associated with field work in the DR Congo by Simon Baumgartner (UCL), Dr Travis Drake (ETH) and Prof Matti Barthel (ETH)
08 Mar
The talk will provide a virtual journey to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC is famous for its populations of mountain gorillas and bonobos but also well known for regular Ebola outbreaks and frequent eruptions of violence by militia groups.

Rare event simulation techniques and extreme heatwaves in general circulation models: applications and perspectives for predictability studies by Francesco Ragone
01 Mar
Studying rare extreme events in the climate system is extremely challenging, since it is often impossible to have observational data or to run numerical simulations long enough to sample a sufficient number of events to have a reliable statistics.

Tick sampling, lab experiment at Sciensano, multi-level modeling, species diversity by Raphael Rousseau
22 Feb
Ticks constitute a threat for human and animal health because they can transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease. But where to find them ? To collect them ? Which factors influence elements of disease transmission ?

Remote sensing / land change modelling in Brazil by Michelle Picoli
15 Feb
Remote sensing image time series has been widely used to investigate the dynamics of environments over time. In this seminar will present some studies that combine satellite image time series analysis with machine learning methods to improve land use and cover change mapping and modeling in Brazil

Predictability and predictions of Antarctic sea ice on seasonal-to-interannual timescales par Sylvain Marchi
29 Jan
Frozen sea water, called sea ice, is an important actor of the climate system. It covers about 12% of the world's oceans. More than reflecting the incoming light, it regulates the exchanges of heat, momentum and matter between the ocean and the atmosphere in polar regions.

Antimicrobial compounds of Lactic Acid Bacteria and the Bacillus subtilis group members isolated from Vietnamese fermented foods by Huong Quynh VU
29 Jan
Nowadays, the demand of consumers for adopting new natural agents to protect against foodborne diseases like campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis or listeriosis has triggered the search for new bio-preservatives. Vietnam is known for its wealth of safe traditional fermented foods based on spontaneous fermentation. Interestingly, these products have surprisingly long shelf life, up to several years.
