Reunion Island, climate sentinel in the tropics
In the southern hemisphere, Reunion Island is particularly suited to the study and monitoring of climate change in the tropics due to the island's geographical and meteorological position.

Take part in our conference “Reunion, climate sentinel in the tropics” Monday November 28 at 18:00 p.m. in the bioclimatic amphitheater – Moufia Campus
The Réunion Atmospheric Physics Observatory (OPAR) is a unique observation site due to the quality of its infrastructure and its instruments, and its location in a very poorly documented area rich in physico-chemical processes. the study of which proves essential to better understand the climate and its modeling. The Maïdo observatory, inaugurated at the end of 2012, is generating significant enthusiasm from the national and international communities; it allows OPAR to expand the richness of its instrumental park and its collaborations, and to occupy an important place in nearly ten research networks and infrastructures.
Stéphanie Evan and Valentin Duflot will present to you the different structures of the OPAR and explain how it succeeded, in less than 10 years, in placing Reunion Island at the front line of global observation of climate change.
At the end of the conference, they will invite you to chat over refreshments.
