Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions

Tatiana Maillard

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

Habitat Néo Rural, Biorégion de la Calanca: construction d’un scénario d’habitat humain alternatif à partir d’un territoire rural à l’abandon

Pietro Berta, Simone Izzo

Il est peut-être redondant d’affirmer que l'urgence climatique et la transition écologique doivent être traitées comme des priorités par le monde politique. Il l'est certainement moins de rappeler que la contribution de l'architecte peut constituer un réel ...

Whole genome duplications and recruitment of ecologically relevant genes in alpine Mustards

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Béatrice North

Polyploid taxa represent excellent models to address the underpinnings of genome evolution and the building up of new species in heterogeneous environments. Here, we present an overview of recent works in the alpine Biscutella laevigata autopolyploid compl ...

Triggering mechanisms and geomorphological implications of debris flows in subaquatic canyons: The Rhone delta (Lake Geneva, Switzerland, France)

Nicolas Le Dantec

Subaquatic canyons in deltas are major pathways for the transport of particles from rivers / the upper delta slops to the deep basins. They represent active environments with frequent deltaic failures and massmovements potentially bearing hazard-related (t ...
