continuous medium, static and kinematic of fluids, integral forms of the fundamental
balance equations (conservation of mass, momentum and energy), theorems of
Bernoulli and applications (velocity and flow measurements, head losses,…),

Keywords
Water network sizing, pressure driven flow modelling, network equipment
Description
This course gives an introduction to pressure driven and free surface flows in pipe
modelling in real world case. The first part focuses on the classical numerical methods
used to model water network (finite difference approach, stability problem, hardy-cross
method, Preissmann slice…) and on the use of water network modelling software. In a
second part, real networks will be modelled to :
-
understand the phenomenon that can occur (water hammer, cavitation …),
-
highlight the role of specific network equipment (pressure control, water
hammer equipment, …)
-
highlight the rules of network sizing (ideal location of a reservoir, reinforcement
of the network, …).
An important part of the course is devoted to give practical skills to students through
the practice of a modelling software in a real world case.

Specialities

Keywords

Description
The course focuses on evidence of climate change in the past, modern climate
variability, and the range of theories and arguments regarding potential climate change
in the future. The course also focuses on the effects of climate change on biodiversity.
We look at the major controls on climate variability at a range of temporal scales. We
study modern research methods that are used to investigate past climate and to model
possible climatic trends, such as global warming. Topics include the carbon cycle,
solar orbital variations, extreme events evolution, greenhouse warming, oceanatmosphere feedbacks and the impact of this climate change on ecosystems. We
explore the human role in global change, and the response of the environment to such
changes, including effects such as sea level rise, changes in vegetation and fauna,
and changes in ocean circulation.

Description
Natural services and anthropogenic influences, bioremediation, biorestauration :
Ecological engineering is interested in environment management by promoting or
designing facilities (sustainable, adaptive, multi-functional) based on knowledge of the
mechanisms that govern ecological systems (self-organization, high biodiversity,
heterogeneous structures...). The pure chemical or physical processes are not
included in the scope of ecological engineering, but are necessarily related disciplines.
How some species or natural populations or communities are able to help in the
sustainable management of ecosystems or peri-urban natural, is the main concern of
this class. The knowledge of the organisms influences on the ecosystem functioning
will be influence Ecological engineering is applied in this TU to promote good quality
environments. The economic and social issues are also taken into account in this
concern.
Goals of ecological engineering:
• The rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems, restoration of functional communities,
reintroduction of species;
• The creation of new sustainable ecosystems that have value to humans and the
biosphere (eg regeneration of green and blue, use of biodiversity in urban areas...).
• The development of biological tools to control, manage or resolve community
problems of pollution, restoring or maximizing an "ecosystem service"....
Field trip will be included to show examples of ecological engineering. Also a second
field day will be devoted to explore a case of pertubated ecosystem that will be the
support of personal work to propose management solutions to specific problems

This advanced course will provide the basics principles to understand the fate and

study its interactions with mineral surfaces (oxides, clays) and trace elements including
pollutants (Zn, Cd, Ni, Hg …). The focus will be on to the understanding of
fundamental biogeochemical mechanisms. Both analytical development challenges
and theoretical background will be developed in this course. The course will also
develop the usefulness of coupled approaches between geochemistry and modeling to
rainfall/runoff model at the basin scale or to coupled hydrological / hydrodynamic and
biogeochemistry at the scale of ecosystems. The module will be based mainly on
practical modelling works with few introductive lectures to each topic.

Description
The objective of this module is to understand how marine organisms exploit their
environment and how they adapt to the high variability of environmental parameters
whatever they originated from (i.e., natural or anthropogenic). Teaching will focus on
some key physiological functions (e.g., respiration, energy allocation, locomotion) that
are directly modulated by the environmental factors. Environmental-related variations
will be explained as well as the involved mechanisms. An integrative approach will be
therefore followed by addressing such responses at different levels (from the molecular
to the organism levels), including biomarkers of effects and of exposure to pollutants.
The consequences on population dynamics will also be considered.
