Edouard Bard "The last deglaciation and its implications for the study of the Grotte Cosquer and the coralligenous rings of Cap Corse".

As part of the Endoume Wednesdays lectures for the general public, Edouard Bard, Professor at the Collège de France, member of the Académie des Sciences, researcher at the CEREGE, will be giving a talk entitled "The last deglaciation and its implications for the study of the Grotte Cosquer and the coralligenous rings of Cap Corse" face-to-face at the Endoume Marine Station or in direct.

Summary of the conference:

The last transition between an ice age and an interglacial period took place between 21,000 and 8,000 years ago. This turbulent climatic phase was characterised by rapid, large-scale variations in temperature and sea levels. These palaeoclimatic upheavals on a global scale had major repercussions on the environments and ecosystems of emblematic sites in the Mediterranean, such as the Calanques in Marseille around the Cosquer cave or the coralligenous rings off Cap Corse (Gombessa-6 expedition led by Laurent Ballesta). This presentation will be illustrated by the many and varied results obtained at the CEREGE in Aix-en-Provence.
