Andrew Bakun is in Villefranche
by Jean-Olivier Irisson, on
Andrew Bakun flew into Nice on Saturday, Sept 22nd. After a nice week-end, an intense week of discussions and teaching started. He presented a seminar titled "Greenhouse gas, upwelling favorable wind, and the future of coastal ocean upwelling ecosystems" on Tuesday. Unfortunately the current directors of the lab and the observatory are both away for the week but we had a great lunch with Louis Legendre, the former director of the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche. Pr Bakun then gave four lectures, on Wednesday and Thursday, trying to instil in the young minds of students of the OEM Master that marine ecosystems are complex adaptive systems. Finally, Friday should be a day for discussions, in the lab and at a restaurant.
