Maison de l’Archéologie et de l’Éthologie (MAE), salle 2, RDJ. RER A station Nanterre Université. 10h à 12h, Maison de l’Archéologie et de l’Ethnologie, René-Ginouvès, 21, allée de l’Université, F-92023, Nanterre Cedex , Salle 2. L’après-midi sera consacré à un échange avec John Weishampel autour des travaux menés par des chercheurs français sur différentes aires culturelles (Europe, Amérique centrale...). 14h à 16h, Maison de l’Archéologie et de l’Ethnologie, René-Ginouvès, 21, allée de l’Université, F-92023, Nanterre Cedex , Salle 2.Organisateurs&#160;: Laurent Costa, Sandrine Robert&#160;John Weishampel is Professor in the Department of Biology of University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida (USA). He is Associate Dean and Director of Interdisciplinary Studies in the College of Graduate Studies (UCF). He belongs to the The Geospatial Analysis &#38; Modeling of Ecological Systems Laboratory (GAMES Lab).His research focuses on Global Change and Landscape Ecology. He studies how spatial patterns influence ecological processes and biodiversity. One emphasis of his research is to use models, interfaced with remote sensing (from satellite and airborne instruments) and geographic information systems (GIS), to explore spatial properties of ecological systems to better understand compositional, structural, and functional biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems. Since the beginning of the 2010s he has set out working with archaeologists for the application of LiDAR for Maya Archaeological Prospection in particular in the agricultural terracing at Caracol in Western Belize. His work on landscape is at the crossroads of biology, archaeology and geography and proposes a heuristic articulation between the sciences of the past and the present, as well as between life sciences and humanities. He will be Visiting Professor at EHESS from 1st June to 30th June 2018.Affiche - Livret journée LIDAR 2018
