Institute for Research and Development- IRD IRD, like CNRS, is an EPST (Public institution for science and technology). Its activities (research, expertise and education) aim to contribute to the economical, social and cultural development of the countries of the South in 6 prior. areas : Fight against poverty Migrations Emergent diseases Ecosystems Access to water Climatic change and natural risks Main research topics in Latinamerica Natural risks Climate changes Ecosystems and natural ressources Health and cultural / social dynamics IRD “Offices / Representations” in Latinamerica » Bolivia » Brasil » Chile » Ecuador » México » Perú And scientif. collabo. with Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, and Venezuela IRD collaborations in Chile (1) '' Climate, variability and impacts / Andes'' • Glaciology / Paleo-hydro.-climato / Andes B.
