The aim of POPNCO is to investigate temporal changes in marine connectivity.
Our specific objectives are: 1) to quantify the inter-annual variance in connectivity over ~10 y (the lifetime of a typical coastal species), and 2) to compare it to the potential shifts (i) among recent past and present generations, and (ii) induced by climate-change over the long term. These objectives will enable to test the following research hypothesis: shifts in larval transport predicted under future climate are significantly larger than past and present variances in larval transport and gene flow.

Sciences-Sur-Mer

As part of the Year of the Ocean, the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche is actively participating in two major events: the One Ocean Science Congress and l’UNOC’3.
Our unit’s staff will take part in scientific discussions and associated events, and will also contribute to the “Sciences-sur-Mer” Festival (June 7–13, Villefranche-sur-Mer), which aims to strengthen the link between science and society by offering opportunities for dialogue between stakeholders and inviting both the general public and school groups to take part.
