Today, seven missions are in orbit, providing dense and near-global observations of the Earth system. This unprecedented availability of observables will enable new applications and results but also require novel and adapted methods of data analysis.

In a series of papers, his group has shown that the isotopic make-up of rocky planets and asteroids in the Solar System is not random but varies in a systematic way. This influential work demonstrates that the isotopic compositions of planets is akin to DNA and can track the origin of their precursor material, including volatiles and water.

It has played a leading role in the development of similar prediction systems in a number of meteorological services and has led to a much more accurate evaluation than hitherto of the confidence that can be given to the predictions.

His early work on the thermodynamic and transport properties of silicate melts led to remarkable insights and provided a thermodynamic basis for the calculation of transport properties that is still being analysed and tested to this day. His groundbreaking studies of the phenomenon of pre-melting in crystals has contributed substantially to the understanding of elastic modulus variations in sub melting temperature solid phases.

These include as investigator in the POLDER-2 and CALIPSO projects, the coordinator of the European project DAEDALUS, and a participant in the “aérosol” portion of the European project GEMS. He was also lead author for Chapter 6 of the IPCC “Third Assessment Report” and co-author for Chapter 2 of the WMO 2002 ozone assessment.

“The disappearance of flight MH370 is probably one of the most bizarre events in modern history. It is important to understand what happened, not only for all the people directly involved, but also for the safety of aviation in general.

His many years of active service culminated in him becoming first Chair of Commission V of ISSS, President of IUSS and also President of the 16th World Congress of Soil Science (Montpellier, 1998). Since 2002 he is Honorary Member of IUSS. His scientific production is very important with 600 titles of publications, reports and notes.
Home / News / Press releases / Invisible poison: Airborne mercury from gold mining is contaminating African food crops, new study warns
Current monitoring strategies focus largely on water bodies, sediment, and seafood, not crops. This study shows those efforts are missing a key vector of exposure. “Due to the toxicity of bioaccumulation and biomagnification potential of methylmercury, fish consumption in ASGM areas has been a major focus of epidemiological research in ASGM areas. Yet this work demonstrates that there are other dietary sources of mercury, and mercury from these different sources can have cumulative effects.”
