 Election Citation
|
|
Bard is recognized for calibration of the geological time scale in the late Pleistocene and Holocene yielding more accurate absolute dates; for innovative use of cosmogenic nuclides and isotope tracers in marine systems; and for providing detailed constraints for global climate change creatively utilizing geological, astronomical, and anthropogenic phenomena. |

Research Interests
|
|
For his research, Edouard Bard has used techniques of analytical chemistry to determine the extent and the timing of climatic variations. New quantitative methods have enabled him and his team to reconstruct past climates using varied archives such as oceanic sediments, lake sediments, corals, stalagmites and polar ice. His guiding principle has been the wish to study the same climatic phenomena, for example the glaciations, using complementary and often innovative geochemical techniques. In ord |
