Continental Surface Modelling Days #6
From November 9, 2026 to November 10, 2026
ETHIC ETAPES - CISL, 103 boulevard des Etats-Unis 69008 Lyon
A scientific conference to foster interdisciplinary exchange, organise and energise the French-speaking scientific community, encourage collaboration.
Modelling continental surfaces is crucial for understanding the evolution of the climate system and its links with natural resources (water, soil, biomass, biodiversity) and human activities.
The scientific and technical challenges of such modelling require constructive interaction between numerous disciplines such as physics, hydrology, biogeochemistry, ecology, agronomy, geography and remote sensing…
Held every two years, the Continental Surface Modelling Days are established to bring together and engage the relevant French-speaking community over two days, with no registration fee.
Katia Chancibault is a researcher in urban hydrology at Gustave Eiffel University. She's helping cities to adapt to climate change and increasing urbanisation. Her work relies largely on large-scale continuous modelling (at city and conurbation level) and seeks to integrate energy and water balances. The hydro-climatic model, TEB, was thus developed in collaboration with Météo-France and École des Ponts ParisTech to evaluate cities’ adaptation strategies with regard to stormwater management and thermal comfort, both now and in the future.
The advantages and limitations of this type of tool will be presented and discussed during the presentation
