Dr. JustinPremière semaine de contrat, mais déjà de nombreux projets au programme ! Cette semaine, je participe à deux séminaires pour présenter mes travaux. Aujourd'hui, je serai au séminaire organisé par les jeunes chercheurs de mon laboratoire, qui portera sur l’incertitude. Lors de ce colloque, je reviendrai sur un élément de ma thèse : les séismes ayant frappé Strasbourg en 2019 et 2020. Il sera bien sûr question d’incertitude, mais surtout de la manière dont ces séismes ont permis une prise de conscience du sous-sol auprès des habitants et des élus locaux. Ces derniers cherchent désormais à reprendre le contrôle de cette question, notamment à travers la mise en place de mécanismes de gouvernance territorialisée. Demain, direction la région parisienne ! Sur l’invitation de deux chercheurs du LATTS, je montrerai comment le sous-sol peut contribuer à la transition énergétique. Je prendrai l’exemple de deux filières, la géothermie et le lithium, pour illustrer comment une politique publique se traduit par le développement de projets concrets. Je montrerai également comment ces projets « atterrissent » sur les territoires pour y être débattus, soulevant ainsi des questions sur les enjeux démocratiques de la transition et des choix opérés. <a href="https://social.sciences.re/tags/PhdChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhdChat</a> <a href="https://social.sciences.re/tags/ESR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ESR</a>

Quietly, gradually grieved one and figured I'd sabotaged the other.The second school that invited me for a flyout took so long that I already assumed I was out of the running.

Charlotte WalkerGood morning! Rainy and chilly here, just 6°C with a predicted high of 8°C - not very spring-like. This morning I will be working on some key documents for my main research study, then in the afternoon I have a workshop on getting the most out of progress reviews (my 1st one is coming up). Before all of that I have to honour Miss Cinnamon’s request for a snuggle.
