Le monde animal est un vivier de découvertes extraordinaires et n'a pas fini de nous étonner. A votre avis : y-a-t-il un animal qui puisse vivre plus de vingt siècles ? Quels pouvoirs sont capables de développer les cafards conçus dans l'espace ? Quelle bestiole a un pénis pouvant s'allonger jusqu'à huit fois sa taille ? Aux émerveillements suscités par la vision de nos paysages terrestres succède aujourd'hui la fascination engendrée par l'observation des potentialités animales. Explorations en Terre Animale nous entraîne dans un voyage à la fois captivant, bizarre et réjouissant ; car la nature est extravagante et d'une richesse inouïe, représentée notamment par tous ces mammifères, insectes ou oiseaux dont les pouvoirs ici dévoilés sont proprement incroyables. Cette Terre, si belle, est pourtant en danger. Découvrons pourquoi, et nous pourrons l'aider. Les rats, les baleines ou les chauves-souris recèlent des secrets qui peuvent nous permettre de comprendre ce monde et de le préserver.

Earth’s atmosphere and oceans play individual and interconnected roles in regulating climate and the hydrological system, supporting organisms and ecosystems, and contributing to the well-being of human communities and economies. Recognizing the importance of these two geophysical fluids, NASA designed the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud and ocean Ecosystems (PACE) mission to bring cutting edge technology to space borne measurements of the atmosphere and ocean. PACE will carry the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a radiometer with hyperspectral capability from the ultraviolet through the near-infrared, plus eight discreet shortwave infrared bands. Thus, OCI will measure the broadest solar spectrum of any NASA instrument, to date. PACE’s second instrument will be a Multi-Angle Polarimeter (MAP). MAP will be NASA’s first imaging polarimeter on board a comprehensive Earth science mission. These instruments bring new capability to the science community, but also new challenges. Fundamentals, such as basic radiative transfer models, require review, enhancements and benchmarking in order to meet the needs of the atmosphere-ocean communities in the PACE era. Both OCI and MAP will bring opportunities to continue heritage climate data records of aerosols and clouds and to advance characterization of these atmospheric constituents with new macrophysical and microphysical parameters. The ability to better characterize atmospheric constituents is a necessity to better separate ocean and atmosphere signals in order to fully realize the potential of PACE measurements for oceanic observations. Atmospheric correction in the PACE era must address the expanded wavelength range and resolution of OCI images, requiring new approaches that go beyond heritage algorithms. This Research Topic encompasses fundamental radiative transfer studies, with application to the atmosphere, ocean or coupled atmosphere-ocean system

The Wetland Book is a comprehensive resource aimed at supporting the trans- and multidisciplinary research and practice which is inherent to this field. Aware both that wetlands research is on the rise and that researchers and students are often working or learning across several disciplines, The Wetland Book is a readily accessible online and print reference which will be the first port of call on key concepts in wetlands science and management. This easy-to-follow reference will allow multidisciplinary teams and transdisciplinary individuals to look up terms, access further details, read overviews on key issues and navigate to key articles selected by experts.
