Biography

edit

Education

edit

Françoise Vimeux graduated in 1999 with a Doctorate from the Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot with a Very Honorable and the congratulations of the jury. Her thesis subject: Variations of the deuterium excess in Antarctica during the last 400,000 years: climatic implications[3] Thesis director : Jean Jouzel.[4] In 2011, she obtained a habilitation of research director at the Université de Versailles-Saint Quentin en Yvelines. Thesis presented: "Climate variability in the Tropics and Subtropics: contribution of stable isotopes of water".[5]
