  • Éléonore

    Une aventure moderne de chercheurs d’or

    L’or était là. Des milliards de dollars d’or enfoui, invisible, en pleine taïga, 200 kilomètres à l’est de la baie James. Un complexe minier grand comme un village s’y dresse aujourd’hui, construit au coût de deux milliards de dollars. Auparavant, il n’y avait rien : que des épinettes rabougries, du lichen et de l’eau. À perte de vue, de l’eau. Au milieu de nulle part, comme le veut l’expression ... Read more

  • Weather, Macroweather, and the Climate

    Our Random Yet Predictable Atmosphere

    by Shaun Lovejoy ...
    Weather, Macroweather, and the Climate is an insider's attempt to explain as simply as possible how to understand the atmospheric variability that occurs over an astonishing range of scales: from millimeters to the size of the planet, from milliseconds to billions of years. The variability is so large that standard ways of dealing with it are utterly inadequate: in 2015, it was found that ... Read more
