On April 29 and 30, 2021, a part of the "VVP-Team" went to the wind tunnel to perform a series of hydrodynamic tests of their VVP (Vertical Velocities Profiler) prototype, in particular for the study of the wake of the instrument.
We were able to measure the frequency of the emitted vortices as a function of the configuration (with or without fairing on one side, with or without half-sphere on the other) and of the wind speed.
The interactions between marine sciences, public policies and society will be the subject of the second European conference of Aix-Marseille University on June 16, 2021 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, under the high patronage of Mrs. Maria da Graça Carvalho, European Deputy. The Scientific Coordinator is Prof.
A week of immersion at IFREMER for the students of the Master of Marine Sciences of the University of Toulon using the advanced equipment of the laboratory Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography MIO and IFREMER to perform sampling and analysis off Toulon.
Four researchers and engineers from MIO are part of the scientific crew of the PERLE 4 cruise. The PERLE programme ('Pelagic Ecosystem Response to dense water formation in the Levant Experiment - MISTRALS MERMEX project), and aims to describe the formation and dispersion of Intermediate Levantine Waters (LIW) in the Mediterranean Sea. Indeed, these LIW, formed in the eastern basin, represent the only water mass common to the whole Mediterranean and play a key role for the general circulation, the redistribution of nutrients and the dynamics and planktonic communities.
As one of the three largest European fleets, the French oceanographic fleet, at the service of research, is going to get a new look.
From the depths to the ocean-atmosphere interaction, the French oceanographic fleet has been contributing for 50 years to better respond to the major challenges of today's marine sciences and technologies. Ifremer1, which manages this fleet, has just unveiled its new 2035 roadmap to ensure its modernization and renewal.
Four deep-sea vessels and more
On March 19, 2021, Ifremer and IRD signed a five-year framework agreement. It aims to strengthen the positioning of marine research for development in France, in the Overseas Territories, in Europe and internationally, and to consolidate cooperation to promote sustainable solutions.
A nice harvest of medals from the CNRS has rewarded our researchers this year, honouring the excellence of their work and thus of our laboratories.
Congratulations to :
Guilaine Lagache, LAM
Guilaine LAGACHE of the Laboratory of Astrophysics of Marseille (LAM - Aix-Marseille University/Centre national d'études spatiales/CNRS) - Delegation Provence and Corsica Silver Medal.
The silver medal distinguishes researchers for the originality, quality and importance of their work, recognized on the national and international level.
As well as to :
Last Sunday, Frederic Diaz, Senior Lecturer at the MIO, CYBELE team, left us suddenly. This is a terrible news that affects us all. We have lost a friend, an exemplary colleague, and a leading teacher-researcher.
Frédéric's students are preparing a tribute that will take place on Friday morning, at 10am on the Océanomed square, to which we are all invited.
Our thoughts are with his wife and his three children and we support them in this terrible ordeal.
A tribute from MIO will be paid to him on the site very soon.
