Client
The Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) was created in 1991 by Gérard Mégie and some of his colleagues to coordinate research efforts in the natural climate sciences in Île-de-France, so that major environmental challenges might be better addressed together than by individual laboratories on their own. Initially, the institute intended to improve our understanding of the global climate system but its scientific life has broadened and diversified, integrating research on phenomena at regional to local scales, interfaces with the Earth’s surface and ecosystems which are essential to understand the system as a whole.
