In anticipation of the United Nations Conference on the Oceans in Nice, our exploration of the oceans will follow the course set by the lecturer Paul Tréguer. He revisits the marine world of Jules Verne with the critical eye of an oceanographer and takes us on the adventures of the heroes from a marine trilogy: the Scotsman Edward Glenarvan from In Search of the Castaways, the American Cyrus Smith from The Mysterious Island, and the Indian Dakkar, alias Captain Nemo from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Jules Verne envisions the exploitation of the sea's immense wealth. Anticipating the exhaustion of fossil energy resources, he advocates for the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, the basis of future energy. What new adventures would Jules Verne propose today? Would we set out to discover deep-sea resources? Paul Tréguer is an emeritus professor at the University of Brest, founder of the European University Institute of the Sea, and author of Three Sailors for a Pole (Éditions Quæ, 2010), Diary of an Oceanographer (2018), In the Footsteps of Two Giants (2020), Jules Verne Planet Ocean (Éditions L'Harmattan, 2023), Is the Ocean the Master of the Climate (Les Editions Apogée, 2024), and co-authored Life Under Ice (Éditions Quæ, 2013) and Antarctic Conquests (CNRS Éditions, 2018).
