Storage of carbon by the Himalaya: the importance of organic carbon unveiled

Affleurement de schistes noirs graphitiques dans l’Himalaya du Népal.

An international team, led by IPGP researchers, has looked into organic carbon stored as graphite in the Nepal Himalaya, whose importance as compared with well-known carbonates for the global carbon budget of the chain remains poorly understood. Studying this stored graphite is essential to better estimate the carbon sink/source duality of large orogens and its associated effects on Earth’s climate. […]

MYSTHIC: “We still have a lot to learn about deep Earth carbon cycle”

For more than a year, Javiera Villalobos Orchard has been working as a postdoc geochemist on the LabEx-funded MYSTHIC project at IPGP. Here, she tells us more about her work and her background. “I was always curious the Earth”. Javiera’s interests about Earth and nature come from her country of origin: Chile. Growing up in Santiago, with the neighbouring Andes […]

Double Chooz publishes new measurement of θ13 and reactor neutrinos flux

Since the detectors interruption in early 2018, Double Chooz international collaboration continues its data analysis in order to find the most accurate value of θ13, the third and last mixing angle of the neutrino oscillation process. Researchers have also measured with unprecedented precision the neutrinos flux emitted by the nuclear fission reactors. Those results were published in “Nature Physics” on […]

Workshop “Gravity Falls : Implication of gravitationnal waves observation on modified gravity theories”

The goal of this workshop, organised the 10th of December by the Paris Center of Cosmological Physics, the Laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie and the GdR “ondes gravitationnelles”, is to explore the implications of past and future gravitational waves observations on modified gravity theories. During the session of the morning review talks about theory and past and future gravitational-wave observations will […]
