PIT

Integration platform

Technical platform open to the scientific community to carry out instrumental integration and environmental testing activities.

Space

Space observation at the OVSQ

The Latmos builds innovative instruments deployed from the ground and sometimes put into orbit or out to meet other bodies in the solar system

Climate

The LSCE throughout the world

Specialists observe current changes linked to human activities, reconstruct past climates, and simulate the climate of the future.

Arctic

Cultures, Environments, Arctic, Representations, Climate

Centered on social sciences, CEARC has 2 priority areas of study: the circum-polar arctic, and adaptation and transition in the face of global changes.

OVSQ in a few words

OVSQ in a few words

The Observatory combines skills in observation, research, education and teaching in the fields of the environment, climate, sustainable development and observation of the planets of the solar system.
At the crossroads of the natural sciences and human and social sciences, it also extends its activities to health as it relates to the environment.



With a strong commitment to experimentation, OVSQ offers state-of-the-art equipment for the testing of space observation missions of the Earth and the planets and the interactive visualisation of complex data. It contributes to the global monitoring networks of the Earth's atmosphere and greenhouse gases and is involved in exploration of the polar regions for indicators of climate change.
The OVSQ opens its doors to the public several times a year for scientific events such as the Fête de la Science and the European Heritage Days.
