Camille Risi

Camille Risi is a researcher at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique at Université Pierre et Marie Curie. In 2009, she defended her thesis on water isotopes and obtained a CNRS position in 2011. As a child, this future modeler, specialising in the isotopic composition of water, never imagined she would one day do research. Today, Camille Risi is passionate about her work and is working hard with the general public and young people to make the true face of researchers and their role in society known.

François Forget

After defending his thesis on the study of the planet Mars in 1996, François Forget became a CNRS research fellow in 1998. He created the “planétologie” team at the Laboratoire de météorologie dynamique (LMD) in 2003 and then directed the “Système solaire” pole of the Institut Pierre-Simon-Laplace from 2009 to 2017. He worked at the NASA between 2004 and 2005 and became CNRS research director at the LMD in 2010.

Philippe Drobinski

CNRS Research Director and Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique, Director of the Laboratoire de Méteorologie Dynamique (LMD) (Ecole Polytechnique in co-supervision with CNRS, ENS Paris and Sorbonne Université) and of the Energy4Climate Interdisciplinary Centre at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

CNRS Research Director and Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique, Director of the Laboratoire de Méteorologie Dynamique (LMD) (Ecole Polytechnique in co-supervision with CNRS, ENS Paris and Sorbonne University) and of the Energy4Climate Interdisciplinary Centre at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, my research focuses on meteorology, the study of Mediterranean climate variability and evolution and energy transition. I have coordinated many national and international programmes on Mediterranean meteorology and climate and their impacts on water and energy. I coordinate the HyMeX international programme to study the water cycle in the Mediterranean, which I represent within the World Climate Research Programme. At the Ecole Polytechnique, I manage the interdisciplinary research programme TREND-X on energy transition. I am the author of more than 140 book chapters and articles in international peer-reviewed journals. At the Ecole Polytechnique, I teach courses on climate change and renewable energy resources in the Polytechnicien cycle and at Master’s level, and I am responsible for the pedagogical aspects of continuing education on energy transition.
