Cosplay
Since childhood, Xavier FETTWEIS has been an aspiring meteorologist, thanks to a small weather station installed at his parents' home. In 1996, he began a degree in mathematics (ULiège). He developed a taste for research and teaching. Still passionate about meteorology, he completed his training with a DEA in climatology (UCLouvain). He then prepared his doctoral dissertation on the climate of Greenland under the supervision of Professor Jean-Pascal van Ypersele at UCL, which he defended in August 2006.
Back at ULiège since September 2007, he continued his work on modeling the climate of Greenland in the Laboratory of Climatology, which he has been directing since 2017, first as a qualified FNRS researcher, then as FNRS research director in 2021, and finally as a professor since 2023. He now coordinates the development of the MAR regional climate model used notably to study the melting polar ice caps, climate changes in Belgium, and to make weather forecasts. Finally, he also developed a classification of weather types to study recent changes in atmospheric circulation in the Arctic, promoting the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Understanding Climate and Its Warming
What is climate? What is the greenhouse effect? How is climate measured? How has it changed, and how will it change? What are the consequences of climate change? And what are the solutions? These are some of the questions that will be answered in this conference by our specialist.
