Mediation on desert aerosols: LISA is in the box
The “C'est dans la boîte!” (It's in the box!) project answers questions asked by visitors to the Exploradôme, a museum of scientific culture in Vitry-sur-Seine, in partnership with the CNRS. LISA researcher Karine Desboeufs took part in the game, answering the question “How is the advancing desert impacting the oceans? In this video, she explains the effects of the desert on phytoplankton.
The desert aerosol cycle is one of LISA's major research themes. These aerosols account for over 40% of annual tropospheric aerosol emissions and are therefore a major player in the Earth's climate.
