Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Français)

4DGeoSystems develops and sells unique 3D digital models of the Earth history. The aim of this project is to test the last generation of climatic models with extreme conditions (e.g. +15°C, 4 × CO2?) observed on Earth during the last 600 Ma and see if predictions for the coming century are realistic or not. The interaction between tectonic and climate has strong impact on both plate tectonic and climate models through the understanding of erosion and sedimentation processes.
