STAGE 11 / STAGE 1 and its Future
Orbital parameters : an analogue for the future
MIS 11 : an analogue for the future
MIS 11 : an analogue for the future Ref : Petit et al. , 1999
MIS 11 : an analogue for the future CO 2 = Vostok
MIS 11 : other CO 2 scenarios Stage 11 is replaced by stage 9 or stage 5 Stage 11 is made older by 10 kyr or by 20 kyr

Développement Durable-Paleoclimat Les échelles de temps sont-elles comptatibles ? • Comprendre le comportement du système climatique dans une diversité suffisante de climats • Recher le(s) meilleur(s) analogue(s) possible(s) pour T et CO 2 • Etudier la stabilité des sites d’entreposage des déchets • Analyser les interactions possibles entre les impacts des activités humaines sur le climat des siècles à venir et les variations naturelles à l’échelle géologique. Notre responsabilité face à l’histoire de la Terre est-elle engagée ?

Sustainable Development – Paleoclimate Are the time scales comptatible ? • To understand the behaviour of the climate system in a set of largely different climates • To find the best analogs for T and CO 2 • To study the stability of the repository sites for nuclear waste disposal • To analyse the possible interactions between impacts of human activities on the next centuries climate and the natural variations at the geological time scale. Is our responsability committed facing the Earth history ?
