Environment: The first results of the TIREX project available online

0

Since the passage of Irma, a group of scientists from multiple disciplines and gathered under the TIREX project, analyzes the impacts and follows the territorial reconstruction, by formalizing methods of continuous scientific experience feedback.

The TIREX project is one of the four projects selected by the National Research Agency at the end of the 2018 edition of the “Hurricanes” call, which followed the extreme weather episodes of August and September 2017 in the Lesser Antilles and the Gulf of Mexico.

If the research started in 2017 continues until 2022, part of the work has already been published in scientific journals. But aware that the time for research is not necessarily that of the inhabitants and actors of the territories concerned, the scientists decided to make their first results accessible to the general public and created a website (https: //tirex.univ- montp3.fr/) in order to disseminate a summary of the information collected in the field from Irma.

"We wanted to make our work available as quickly as possible but waited until our results were first validated by our peers" indicates Delphine Grancher, research engineer at the CNRS and member of the TIREX project.

In order to facilitate reading and navigation on the site, the researchers made an effort of "popularization" and of graphic and aesthetic presentation: photos, maps, storymaps ... The site constitutes a medium that is both dense and digestible to better understand the context and the short- and medium-term consequences of the passage of the cyclone.
