This two half-day conference will focus on the current challenges facing the oceans, adopting a multidisciplinary approach combining physics, biology and social, legal and economic aspects.
The first half-day will begin with an inaugural conference led by researchers and/or players in the field. This will be followed by a two-pronged approach to the subject, combining the exact sciences and the humanities. The first approach will consist of a presentation of the various tools used to study and sample the ocean, a key stage that is both complex and essential to better understanding and protecting this environment. The second approach, led by the human sciences, will focus on the objective of understanding, apprehending or highlighting certain ocean-related issues, taking into account the effects of climate change with a view to transmitting a sustainable future.
The second half-day will be devoted to marine ecosystems, exploring topics such as the bioacoustics of marine mammals, the study of contaminants and biofilms, and the impact of human activities on these ecosystems.
