French climatologist

Françoise Vimeux is a French climatologist. She is Director of Scientific Research at the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), works at the Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement (LSCE) and at the Laboratoire HydroSciences Montpellier (HSM).[1][2]

Biography

Education

Françoise Vimeux graduated in 1999 with a Doctorate from the Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot with an Very Honorable and the congratulations of the jury. Her thesis subject: Variations of the deuterium excess in Antarctica during the last 400,000 years: climatic implications[3] Thesis director : Jean Jouzel.[4] In 2011, she obtained a habilitation of research director at the Université de Versailles-Saint Quentin en Yvelines. Thesis presented: "Climate variability in the Tropics and Subtropics: contribution of stable isotopes of water".[5]
