Déclic conference: L’Arctique, bande-annonce du climat

The Arctic is already suffering the full impact of climate change. The average temperature in northern Canada has increased by more than 2 degrees over the past 70 years, three times more than the global average! The scale of the upheaval observed in the far North foreshadows what could happen in the coming decades at lower latitudes. How is the Arctic changing? What does this tell us about the future? Come and speak with Arctic specialist Philippe Archambault, a professor at Université Laval. This participatory conference will be moderated by journalist Valérie Borde.

• When: June 1, 2019, at 3:00 p. m.
• Duration: 60 minutes (20 min. of presentation, 40 min. of discussion)
• Cost: Free, door prize
• Where: Québec, Parc d’Espace 400e, as part of la Foire Écosphère – Environnement et Écohabitation

Philippe Archambault is a full professor in the Biology Department at Université Laval. His work focuses on marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, as well as the impact of global changes on ecosystems, mainly in the Arctic.

This activity is presented by Déclic – Centre d’excellence sur le dialogue entre les scientifiques et le public, with support from the Fonds de recherche du Québec and Institut nordique du Québec.
