National Initiatives

• N. Champagnat, J. Claisse and D. Villemonais are members of the ANR MANEGE (Modèles Aléatoires eN Écologie, Génétique et Évolution, ending in April 2014) whose aim is to provide methodological and conceptual advances in the study of stochastic processes modeling ecology, population genetics and evolution of life. This work is sustained by regular exchanges with biologists from several teams in France. In addition, the three working groups that operate in each of the three poles of the MANEGE project (Paris, Palaiseau, Marseille) gather all local probabilistic interests in the issues of this project. http://www.cmap.polytechnique.fr/~anr-manege/index_en.html

• A. Lejay is member of the ANR SIMUDMRI (Simulation of diffusion MRI signals in biological tissues) which started in November 2010 (directed by Jing-Rebecca Li, Inria Rocquencourt). http://www.cmap.polytechnique.fr/~jingrebeccali/grants/simudmri.html

• A. Lejay is member of the ANR H2MNO4 (ANR Cosinus, 2012–2015) on Original Optimized Object Oriented Numerical Model for Heterogeneous Hydrogeology which started in November 2012 (directed by Joceyline Erhel, IRISA, Rennes).

Modéol

Since April 2013, M. Bossy is the coordinator of the Modéol collaboration project funded by the French Environment and Energy Agency (ADEME), and involving the IPSL (CNRS) and the French company Maïa Eolis. The overall goal of the project concerns the modeling and prediction of wind potential in France, in particular the quantification of uncertainties and the analysis of multi-scale variability.

Concerning the Inria workpackage, in collaboration with Antoine Rousseau, from the project-team Moise , M. Bossy introduced the terrain elevation in the SDM modelling. Selim Kraria is starting to work in Modéol . This year we also work on the interface of SDM with the classical and widely used numerical weather prediction solver WRF. For the visualisation purpose with the SDM outputs, we also retained the Num3sis platform developed at Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée.
