Chloé Largeron
Institution:
Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l'Environnement (LGGE), Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble
Nationality:
French
Research Field:
I am a modeler on a land surface model called ORCHIDEE
What parts of your research will be a direct input to PAGE21?
I focus on dissolved organic carbon processes in permafrost area on the ORCHIDEE model
What is the current challenge within this topic?
The challenge is to make projections of the emission of carbon into the atmosphere due to the thawing of permafrost until the end of the 21st century.
How did it happen that you became a researcher?
I've studied physics in the university and would make a PhD in the field of the global warming
Why do you like being the researcher?
I like it for many reasons and one of them is to be constantly informed of new research.
What do you like most in being a researcher?
I like to be in contact with other researchers
How a typical working day looks like?
Sitting in front of computers :-)
What are the challenges for modelers?
The challenge is to get the best representation of the reality as possible and to parametrize physical processes.
What are your plans for the upcoming three / five years?
To do my PhD at first and to continue in the research perhaps as a PostDoc.
What is the usual response when you tell somebody that you are researcher in the field of climate modeling?
The usual response is "are you already been there, to see toundra, wetland, permafrost area,..."
