@forel_heritage

The Association aims to carry out research projects in collaboration with the Swiss and international scientific community, including educational projects.

To mark the inauguration of the new pontoon on the Quai du Péristyle, the French Minister for the Sea and Fisheries Fabrice Loher went to meet Captain Baptiste Régnier. Next destination: the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly's pontoon, where FOREL will prepare its next expedition.

This summer, two teams from @EPFL_en have visited the #Arctic. One to gain a better understanding of the air composition, the other to quantify the greenhouse gases sequestered in #Greenland fjords sourced by glacial water. @SwissPolar @ChappellazJ actu.epfl.ch/news/from-clou…


The 1st expedition comes to an end and FOREL proved its adaptability. The crew are now heading for Lorient (@citedelavoile). The scientific adventure has only just begun, with its share of discoveries to come. @epflcampus @unilch @fgse_unil @ethzurich @ulaval @universitelaval
