The Odyssey of the Scallop Shell

Overview

Present in most coastal waters for millions of years, the scallop is now embarking on a veritable odyssey: scientific research. Capable of storing and providing ultra-precise information on changes in its environment, it is an unexpected indicator of ocean evolution. From the harbor of Brest to the Arctic, Laurent Chauvaud, a researcher at the CNRS, takes us on a new polar mission that combines scientific discovery and artistic creation.
