Forel Heritage Association
@forel_heritageThe 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.
"#SmallPlatforms can do a lot and #technology has moved, it can be militarized so you can do a lot more with smaller platforms." Patrick Aebischer, Founder, Forel Heritage Association
⛵️❄️Shared perspectives at the "Floating Platforms for #PolarScience" session @_Arctic_Circle #Assembly2024 highlighted the importance of joining forces to address the #Sustainability challenges with a coordinated effort. #InternationalCollaboration #Climate #ThankYou
The « FOREL Greenland 2024 » expedition, initiated by the Forel Heritage Association, is coming to an end. FOREL docked at the port « La Base » in Lorient. The crew can now celebrate the success of this first mission before preparing FOREL for winter refit that lies ahead.

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

Meet the FOREL’s crew # Nicolas Looten, deckhand. " As we approached #greenland last June, I discovered what navigating through the ice involved. I learnt that with patience, mutual aid and #perseverance , you can reach your destination..." Photo : jugirardot.com

Scientific briefing to determine the day's sampling order. Samuel Jaccard @jaccsa (climatologist & professor @fgse_UNILand) and Julia Schmale (professor @EPFL, specialist in the composition of the atmosphere, aerosols and their interaction with clouds). @SwissPolar @epflENAC
Jérôme Chappellaz preparing the Sub-Ocean probe, allowing measurements of dissolved methane in seawater. Jérôme is trying to determine whether the Greenland ice sheet is a significant source of naturally occurring methane. @ChappellazJ @SwissPolar @EPFL_en @jaccsa Greenfjord
#Science onboard: FOREL's CTD-rosette is out of the water. The oceanographic activities of the GreenFjord project @SwissPolar coordinated by Pr. Jaccard @jaccsa (@EPFL_en). In background Pr. Chappellaz @ChappellazJ (@EPFL @CNRS), S. Lavanchy (ETS/HES) and Erwan (FOREL's crew).
As part of the GreenFjord project (greenfjord-project.ch), 7 scientists are on board FOREL to better understand interactions between glaciers and the ocean in fjords of SW Greenland. photo:julien.girardot.photography @jaccsa @SwissPolar @unil @FGSE_UNIL @ETH_en @EPFL @ChappellazJ
