I am a physical oceanographer interested in determining what
sets the global characteristics of the ocean circulation. My research interests span the three mainstays of physical oceanography: observation, theory and modeling. Involved in
research activities since 2004, my early work focused on the
observation and study of the Southern Ocean. I am in particular involved
in the development of animal-borne CTD tags, which are now a major
source of data in Polar Oceans. I am also interested in the study of
ocean thermodynamics and mixing and how they control the global
overturning circulation.
My main research interests:
- Southern Ocean circulation
- Instrumented Elephant Seals gathering hydrographic data (MEOP, AniBOS)
- Ocean modelling (NEMO, MITgcm)
- Ocean energetics and thermodynamics
- Structure and dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
