Joseph Fourier Award

Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier and the discovery of the greenhouse effect

Joseph Fourier is well known for his mathematical studies and for his work on heat diffusion. Fourier series, Fourier coefficients, Fourier integrals, etc. are common expressions. Fourier’s best known work is probably the «Analytical theory of heat». 
Here we celebrate the bicentenary of the discovery of the greenhouse effect (1824) by Joseph FOURIER, French physicist, naturally recognized worldwide by engineers.
This is Fourier’s important contribution to the Earth and space sciences by analysing his «Memoir on the temperature of the Earth and planetary spaces».
