Guillaume MASSELIS is a former student of the ENSEGID, with a specialization in environmental sciences and environment management. During his 6-month internship at BRGM he worked on soil erosion and landslide issues. Now he just started his VI at iEES Paris, within the M-TROPICS critical zone observatory, and was posted at SFRI in Hanoi with […]

Headwaters are hotspots of carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from rivers. While emerging evidence suggests that groundwater contributes disproportionately to CO2 in headwater streams, the processes of CO2 delivery to streams and subsequent evasion to the atmosphere remain largely unknown. This study, partly based on CO2 measurements along the Houay Pano stream in Northern Laos (M-TROPICS/MSEC), […]
Missions
Norbert Silvera (IRD-iEES Paris) and Laurie Boithias (CNAP-GET) visited the 3 catchments in Laos, Thailand and Vietnam to meet local colleagues and students, and to collect monitoring data and samples. In Houay Pano (Laos) together with Olivier Ribolzi (IRD-GET), Anne Pando (IRD-iEES Paris) and Bounsamai Soulileuth (IRD-iEES Paris) they evaluated the extent of the landslides […]

From 26 October to 2 November 2018, in situ measurements of dissolved methane concentrations were carried out in the water column of the Maethang irrigation reservoir by three scientists from the iEES Paris joint research unit (Sylvain Huon, Véronique Vaury, and Jean-Louis Janeau). Water and gas samples were also collected to perform stable carbon isotope […]

Today October 17, 2018, Huong Thi LE successfully defended her thesis on the impacts of landuse change on stream microbial communities in rural, tropical catchments. Huong’s field work was performed within two M-TROPICS catchments: Houay Pano in Laos and Dong Cao in Vietnam. Her research was supervised by Thomas POMMIER (Ecologie Microbienne Lyon) and Emma […]

Paty Nakhle is a former student from both the Lebanese University and the Agronomy Engineering School of Toulouse (ENSAT), with a specialization in environmental science. She also hold a joint ENSAT/Paul Sabatier University master degree Ecosystèmes et Anthropisation and performed her 6-month internship at GET laboratory, where she experimentally modelled the degradation of peat and […]
Conferences
An oral presentation was given at the annual SWAT International Conference in Brussels by Minjeong Kim, from UNIST, South Korea, about the modelling of E. coli: a research work using data of the Houay Pano catchment in Laos (M-TROPICS/MSEC), already published in the Journal of Environmental Quality (here).

Groundwater contribution to streamflow sustains biodiversity and enhances ecosystem services, especially under monsoon-driven climate where stream baseflow is often the only available water resource during the dry season. This study assessed how land use change influences streamflow and its groundwater contribution in the small headwater catchment of Houay Pano (M-TROPICS/MSEC) in the lower Mekong basin, […]
