Following the government's announcement on Saturday, March 14, 2020 that the Coronovirus (COVID-19) epidemic has been downgraded to stage 3, the upcoming "Amphis pour Tous" conferences have been cancelled for the coming months and postponed until next season.
La conférence « Le souffle des lacs, une menace climatique ? », présentée par Étienne Dambrine, directeur de recherche INRA au Centre Alpin de Recherche sur les Réseaux Trophiques des Écosystèmes Limniques (CARRTEL), UFR Sciences et Montagne, aura lieu le jeudi 18 juin 2020 à 19h au Tiers-Lieu culturel La Forge à Faverges-Seythenex.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Forests are often referred to as the lungs of the planet. While the metaphor is instructive, it is scientifically false: unlike lungs, forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. What about lakes? Measurements show that, like animals, most lakes suck in oxygen and blow out carbon dioxide. You could say that lakes sometimes yawn or belch, since they can also emit methane! The breath of lakes is strongly influenced by their terrestrial environment, which conditions their diet, as well as their management by man.
