Christine Lerrede's research focuses on cyclostratigraphy, in particular the study of paleoclimate cycles and their implications from the Secondary to the Quaternary. But this conference will focus on her teaching activities, which extend to knowledge of the present-day climate, its mechanisms and evolution.
On the occasion of the World Climate Day, we propose that it should lay the scientific foundations of global warming. Her presentation will be above all scientific and educational. She will provide an update on the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the advances made by the latest forecasting models and the different scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, presenting model outputs with optimistic and pessimistic forecasts. In order to open up the debate on the political and social aspects, she will present the latest results that served as a basis for COP 24, as well as the attitudes of the various countries taking part or withdrawing from the process.

Christine Leredde is a senior lecturer at the Géosciences Montpellier laboratory and at the Montpellier Faculty of Science, in the Earth Water Environment Department. Christine holds an engineering degree from Centrale Marseille, specializing in marine engineering, and a post-graduate diploma (DEA) in marine environmental sciences, with a major in physical oceanography, from the University of Luminy, Marseille. She then completed her thesis between Cerege and Luminy. After a 1-year post-doc at the Laboratoire de Géophysique et d'Hydrodynamique en Forage in Marseille, she joined the Montpellier Faculty of Science as an MCF specializing in logging. She is currently in charge of the Geosciences Pollution Prevention and Treatment degree program.
