ThursdayThursday November 30 at 2 p.m., the Environments, Dynamics, and Mountain Territories Laboratory (EDYTEM) will host Emmanuel Garnier, historian and CNRS research director at the Chrono-Environment Laboratory of the University of Franche-Comté, for a lecture titled “A Historical Approach to Hazards and Interdisciplinary Dialogue.” The lecture will take place in the amphitheater of Building 3 (Pôle Montagne, 5 bd de la Mer Caspienne) on the Bourget-du-Lac campus. The event is also accessible via videoconference.
The presentation will focus specifically on hydrometeors and geological hazards (earthquakes, landslides, and inland tsunamis) over the past millennium. Following an initial critical review of the exceptionally rich body of documentation—often overlooked by researchers outside the social sciences and humanities—the presentation will address the frequency and intensity of these phenomena, as well as the methodological approaches required for the necessary dialogue between historians and environmental scientists, using the example of the international IRN RISCDIS network.
Pre-register for the event (open to USMB staff and students, subject to availability)
This conference is organized as part of the major seminar series by the laboratories of the OSUG federation (of which EDYTEM is a member). These events feature renowned scientific guests throughout the year, addressing topics that cut across OSUG’s scientific themes.
