Abstract Wetlands are the world's largest reservoirs of carbonaceous organic matter. They help mitigate extreme climatic events (floods and droughts), purify water and preserve biodiversity. However, 85 % of wetlands were lost in three  hundred  years ; …

Abstract Diagrammatic Monte Carlo (DiagMC) is a versatile numerical technique capable of solving strongly correlated fermion systems in a controlled and accurate way. The core idea behind the technique is to sum all connected Feynman diagrams in a …

Abstract The real-time dynamics of interacting quantum systems remains a major challenge in computational quantum physics. Surprisingly, high-order perturbative expansions have recently emerged as a promising approach to address this question, even in …

Abstract In this seminar, I will introduce the diagrammatic Monte Carlo method and discuss its application to the two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature. The results obtained through this approach are controlled and, importantly, address the …

Abstract This lecture will introduce the concept of nature's contributions to human populations, or ecosystem services. It will show how functional ecology approaches enable ecosystem services to be quantified on the basis of biodiversity. These …

Abstract Faced with an alarming ecological diagnosis, we urgently need to change our modes of operation and production towards mutual and harmonious growth of the economy and natural ecosystems. We show how solutions inspired by, or even based on, nature, …
