Already as a child, Xavier FETTWEIS was a budding meteorologist thanks to a small weather station installed at his parents' house. In 1996, he undertook a degree in mathematics (ULiège). He takes a liking to research and teaching.
Always passionate about meteorology, he completed his training with a DEA in Climatology (UCLouvain). He then prepared his doctorate on the climate of Greenland with Professor Jean-Pascal van Ypersele of UCL, a thesis which he will defend in August 2006.
Back at ULiège since September 2007, he continues his work on modeling the climate of Greenland in the Climatology Laboratory which he has directed since 2017, first as a qualified FNRS researcher, then as an FNRS research master. 2021 And finally as a professor since 2023. He now coordinates the development of the regional climate model MAR used in particular to study the melting of polar ice caps, climate changes in Belgium and even to make weather forecasts. Finally, he also developed a classification of weather types to study recent changes in atmospheric circulation in the Arctic favoring the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Understanding the climate and its warming
What is climate? What is the Greenhouse Effect? How to measure the climate? How has it and will it vary? What are the consequences of global warming? And what are the solutions? Here are some questions that will be answered in this conference thanks to our specialist on the issue.
