19 juillet 2018POLLUX – Nocturnal light pollution: how extensive is it? What are the effects on biodiversity? What legislative measures need to be taken? (2017)
Summary: Nocturnal artificial light is essentially emitted by urban areas and road infrastructure. This phenomena is constantly increasing and has significant biological consequences. In effect, night-time periods regulate the synthesis of melatonin, the key hormone which synchronises a multitude of physiological processes (metabolism, growth, stress and immunity in the majority of animals). Although effects on […]

RIVIERE – Re-naturing the city, a risk or a factor for social well-being in the eyes of residents and users? Contribution of landscape mediation (2013)
Summary: The re-naturation of cities represents a major preoccupation to the extent that it responds to ecological (biodiversity) and social (well-being) issues. Therefore, aquatic environments (rivers, reservoirs) located within or in contact with cities are the object of increasing appreciation. Nonetheless, this process creates some risks for societies (health risk, flood risk, drowning risk) and […]

5 juillet 2018ARMATURE – Spatial, temporal and ecological dynamics of the green band (armature verte) of the Lyon metropolis (2014)
Summary: An urban green band is a genuine system defined by a spatial structure, flows and movements, temporal dynamics. The goal of the ARMATURE project is to develop methodologies to describe, model and evaluate these three properties of the “green band system”. The ARMATURE project studies the dynamic of vegetation in the Lyon space across […]
