Laureate of the Laboratory for Excellence project (LabEx) in the program « Investment in the future », the DRIIHM LabEx, InterDisciplinary Research Facility on Human-Environment Interactions, aggregate 131 human-environments observatories (OHM in french), tools for observing socio-ecosystems impacted by anthropic events. Created by CNRS-INEE in 2007, they are located in metropolitan France (6: Bassin Minier de Provence (provence Coalfield), Pyrénées-haut Vicdessos, Vallée du Rhône (Rhone valley), Littoral Méditerranéen (French mediterranean coastal zone), Pays de Bitche (Bitche County) and Fessenheim), overseas France (2: Oyapock (French Guyana), Littoral caraïbe (Caribbean Coast)) and abroad (5: Estarreja (Portugal), Téssékéré (Sénégal), Nunavik (Canada), Pima County (USA), Patagonia-Bahia Exploradores (Chile)).
DRIIHM brings together over 1,400 research staff, including 300 foreigners, from 200 research units in 87 french and foreign universities, 46 research organizations and "Grandes Écoles". It has financed 960 research projects, supervised 190 doctorates, 110 post-doctorates and over 400 Master's degrees.
October 20-24, 2015 - Kerkennah archipelago, Sfax (Tunisia)
The Mediterranean area undergoes different climatic influences and is known to be a climatic change hotspot by the IPCC. Indeed the climate change and sea level evolution are important there. It is also an ancient anthropised area where the actual population growth in the coastal area is important. High human densities imply high issues: touristic, economic, heritage, natural etc. Consequences on that area, natural and directly or indirectly anthropogenic ask new problematic. This symposium offers to consider on three of them:
The geoarchaeology of mediterranean islands. Multidisciplinary approaches to paleoenvironmental changes and the history of the human occupation in the Mediterranean islands since the Last Glacial Maximum
Cette manifestation dont l'OHM Littoral méditerranéen est partenaire se déroulera du 30 juin au 2 juillet au Centre de congrès CNRS de Cargèse (Corse, France).
L'inscription (en ligne, ICI) est obligatoire en raison du nombre limité de places.

For over 20 years, the science comes your way.
The Science Festival takes place this year in France (and now international) from 27 September to 19 October. It is an opportunity to "discover the world of science and meet the men and women who are today's science." This is an opportunity for young and old to learn, to dare ask questions to those who practice everyday science.
In their objectives "to bring knowledge," opening to civil society and environmental education, the OHM participate again in this event.
You will find below, the activities organized under the Science Festival 2014, as and when they are completed.
OHM Oyapock : September 29 evening, Damien Davy, anthropologist, director of the OHM Oyapock, presented on the seafront in Kourou few examples of astral representations and myths that shape the memories and knowledge of Amerindians from Guyana.
The article "And so came the two brothers Kusuwi" details his response.
Sandra Nicolle defended his doctoral thesis entitled "Protected natural areas in the Amazon rainforest Doctrines management devices. How effectively for environmental protection comparative study France (French Guiana) / Brazil (Amapá) ?", wednesday, september 24 2014, 15h, at the AgroParisTech center of Montpellier (648 rue Jean-François Breton), Amazon room.
The animation of the secretariat of Future Earth has been awarded to an international consortium of France, the USA, Japan, Canada and Sweden. According to Michel Jarraud (WMO) as a consortium "strengthen the program's ability to build bridges between the communities of researchers and practitioners internationally." For France, ANR, alongside the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research and Allenvi alliance, is an integral part of the secretariat.

Human and Environmental Interactions. Environmental Research Questions and Practices
Robert Chenorkian & Samuel Robert (ed.), Collection « Indisciplines », Quae / NSS, 2014
The human and environmental observatories can enlighten the current issues of global change and globalisation of human activities, especially those affecting the biodiversity, the vulnerability of environments and regions, the impacts on the resources and the health of populations. Taken from miscellaneous scientific disciplines, this work brings a free viewpoint on the topic "Think about observation and research in human and environmental interactions".

A short documentary, co-produced by and the Center for Northern Studies, was conducted during the intergenerational and intercultural camp held in August 2013 with the Cree Whapmagoostui, Quebec, east of Hudson Bay . It is an excellent introduction to KNOWLEDGE project, funded in part by APR 2014 (OHIM Nunavik - ROHM).
