Scientific activities
My main interest concerns the understanding of regional marine systems, based on the development and use of regional ocean-atmosphere and hydrodynamics-biogeochemical coupled models. My research activity mainly focuses on two topics :
- the functioning, interannual variability and long term evolution of several dynamic processes who contribute to the formation and fate of water masses of the regional ocean circulation.
- the influence of those dynamics on pelagic planktonic ecosystems, through their role in the fate and mixing of water masses, hence of nutrients and plankton.
The two areas of study are :
- The Mediterranean sea (e.g. dense water formation in the Western Mediterranean through shelf and open-sea convection),
- The South China Sea (e.g. Nha-Trang upwelling).
