CICLAMEN

CICLAMEN is a bilateral project funded by CAPES (Brazil) and COFECUB (France) for the period 2019-2023. The project is coordinated by V.Dubreuil (LETG, Rennes 2, France) and M.C.C.T.Amorim (UNESP, Presidente Prudente, Brazil).

In France, urban areas represent 22% of the metropolitan territory and represent 78% of the population, and peri-urban areas represent 38% of the French metropolitan territory according to INSEE. In Brazil, urbanization accelerated during the twentieth century, with an urban population of 34% in 1940 and currently estimated at 84% according to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). In both countries, Urban Heat Islands (UHI) are among the most important physical effects (and environmental problems) generated by cities.

The project CICLAMEN aims to analyze the characteristics of land use and the production of heat islands in medium-sized French and Brazilian cities in different climatic, historical and land use contexts. This will involve proposing policies and measures that can mitigate high temperatures at fine scales (especially vegetation). To do this, the methods selected will combine in-situ temperature measurements, remote sensing techniques and the analysis of public policies. The project is centered on medium-sized cities because if while large cities are the subject of numerous studies, medium-sized cities (less than 500,000 inhabitants) represent almost a quarter of the world's population.

For the participants (professors, researchers, students) the mobilities proposed by the project a will contribute to increase openness and internationalization of the teaching and research practices via:

• The development of joint bi-lingual field-trips, courses and seminars;
• International publications in journals and conferences;
• Joint supervision and co-supervision of Master's dissertations and PHD.
