Recherche et / ou projets en cours

Mes recherches se concentrent sur l’ensemble du cycle du carbone et le changement climatique, sur les rétroactions entre les écosystèmes océaniques et les concentrations de gaz atmosphériques à l’état de traces ainsi que sur les impacts anthropogéniques sur l’océan comme l’acidification et la géoingénierie par le biais de la fertilisation des océans.
