Scientific data from Lautaret - Jardin du Lautaret Université Grenoble Alpes

The provision of scientific data

imaginary illustration of scientific data with curves and values

As part of its research support activities, The jardin du Lautaret is involved in producing and providing scientific data. Across a vast area of 300^km² around the Lautaret-Galibier , several measuring stations and numerous sensors provide scientists with valuable information on mountain ecosystems. This data can be shared without restriction, upon request.

Weather data for the Lautaret-Galibier area

A station is located in the garden and has been providing meteorological data since 2007.

Online data

Five other measuring stations are located in the Lautaret-Galibier area. Temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction (including gusts), precipitation, snow depth, and solar radiation are measured.

Soil temperature data for the Alps

Unlike air temperatures, soil temperatures provide information about the thermal conditions experienced by living organisms, particularly plant root systems. These temperatures provide a better understanding of the links between microclimate, species distribution, and ecosystem functioning.

Project supported by the Zone Atelier Alpes (ZAA)

Hydrological data for the Guisane River

Three measuring stations have been installed on the Guisane River and its tributaries since 2019 and 2020. Water level, flow rate, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity are the variables measured continuously.
