Dr. Nathalie de Noblet was Lead Author of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land, published in August of 2019. Her research focuses on how land use affects the climate at local, regional and global scales, through disturbances of the energy balance and the hydrological cycle. She has more recently also worked on assessing the impacts of climate change on cereal crops, in an attempt to develop climate services for agriculture. Dr. de Noblet is a Research Director at the CEA in France (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives), working at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE). She has co-coordinated the Laboratory of Excellence BASC (Biodiversity, Agroecosystems, Society and Climate) over the past 8 years, where they combine knowledge on climate, agronomy, forestry, ecology and economics to improve decisions about land use at the territorial level. Dr. de Noblet is a consultant professor at AgroParisTech and a member of the French Academy of Agriculture.
