The Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) within the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) gath-ers the expertise of eight laboratories and two associated teams specialized in one or more aspects of the climate and environmental sciences and the exploration of the solar system. Nearly 1,500 people (researchers and lecturer-researchers, engineers, technicians, administrative staff, doctoral students, post-docs and interns) work on around ten sites in Île-de-France. As part of IPSL, Centre d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Environnement Atmosphé-rique (CEREA) is a joint laboratory combining the Ponts ParisTech school and EDF R&D. It studies the physico-chemical processes of air pollution and of the atmospheric boundary layer as well as data assimilation and inverse modelling in geosciences.
The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) is a joint re-search unit (UMR 8212) of the atomic energy agency and alternative energy (CEA), the national center for scien-tific re-search (CNRS) and the Versailles Saint-Quentin en Yvelines University (UVSQ). It is part of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL). LSCE strives to understand climate change at all timescales and to predict the up-heavals that our planet will face in the coming decades and centuries due to the rapid increase in greenhouse gases.
