Overview

J. M. Barnola is affiliated with Grenoble Alpes University in France and conducts research primarily within the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their body of work addresses multiple subfields, including Atmospheric Science, Environmental Chemistry, Ecology, and Global and Planetary Change.

Their research focuses on several main topics, such as Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Methane Hydrates and Related Phenomena, Polar Research and Ecology, and Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics. This multidisciplinary approach reflects an emphasis on understanding environmental processes and historical climate variations.

Recent publications by Barnola include:

  • Atmospheric methane, record from Greenland ice core over the last 1000 years (2021) published in Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern)
  • "EDML1": a chronology for the EPICA deep ice core from Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, over the last 150 000 years (2024) published in VUBIR (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

Frequent collaborators in Barnola's research include Urs Ruth, J. Beer, Matthias Bigler, T. Blunier, and E. Castellano. Their articles have appeared in venues such as VUBIR (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and the Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern).
