Invited contributions by 2016-2017 geoscience laureates of the French Academy of Sciences
Abstract
Each year, the French Academy of Sciences awards a number of prizes and medals to recognize the contributions and achievements of outstanding colleagues in all fields of Science. Since 2013, laureates in the geoscience section are invited to make short presentations at the Academy, and to submit an invited paper to Comptes rendus Geoscience (see, e.g., Courtillot, 2014). The present issue brings together a 2016 and four 2017 laureates.
