Description @en
The Earth and Climate division of the Earth and Life Institute (ELIc) aims to understand the functioning of the Earth system, with a focus on climate and the relationship between human activities and the natural environment. The four main research themes of the centre involve:
  • climate system dynamics;
  • land use and globalisation;
  • soil, sediment and nutrient fluxes;
  • space and planets.
The marine-related research of the group concerns climate, sea-ice and ocean models. The group is developing and maintaining, in collaboration with the Nucleous for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) consortium, the Sea Ice Modelling integrated initiative (SI3) / Louvain-la-Neuve Ice Model (LIM). ELIC has contributed to the coupling of NEMO-SI3/LIM to several climate models. These models are applied on various systems at global scale, in particular to study the mechanisms responsible for past and future climate change at high latitudes of both hemispheres and the role of polar oceans and sea ice in observed and projected climate change.
Description @nl
De afdeling Earth and Climate van het Earth and Life Institute (ELIc) heeft tot doel de werking van het aardsysteem te begrijpen, met de nadruk op het klimaat en de relatie tussen menselijke activiteiten en de natuurlijke omgeving. De vier belangrijkste onderzoeksthema's van het centrum zijn:
  • klimaatsysteemdynamiek;
  • landgebruik en globalisering;
  • bodem-, sediment- en nutriëntenstromen;
  • ruimte en planeten.
Het mariene onderzoek binnen de groep bestaat uit klimaat-, zee-ijs- en oceaanmodellen. De groep ontwikkelt en onderhoudt, in samenwerking met het Nucleous for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) consortium, het Sea Ice Modelling integrated initiative (SI3) / Louvain-la-Neuve Ice Model (LIM). ELIC heeft bijgedragen aan de koppeling van NEMO-SI3/LIM aan verschillende klimaatmodellen. Deze modellen worden toegepast op verschillende systemen op wereldschaal, met name om de mechanismen te bestuderen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de vroegere en toekomstige klimaatverandering op hoge breedtegraden van beide hemisferen en de rol van polaire oceanen en zee-ijs in geobserveerde en voorspelde klimaatverandering.
