My research is fully interdisciplinary,
combining field and laboratory works, numerical analysis and simulation, to
assess (i) the microscale (< 1 m) distributions of organisms at the basis of the
functionning of marine ecosystems (i.e. virus, bacteria, phytoplankton,
zooplankton), (ii) their the space-time dynamics, and (iii) their
coupling/uncoupling dynamics with chemical and physical properties of the
environment (e.g. nutrient availability, turbulence)
My recent and current research
activities can be summarized under the following headings:
Multiscale analysis of intermittency
in biophysical patterns and processes in space and time
Turbulence effects on plankton
behavior, distribution and productivity
Three-dimensional distributions and
couplings between virus, bacteria, phytoplantkon and zooplankton populations
at microscale
Microscale distribution of
intertidal organic matter, bacteria, microphytobenthos and meifauna
Modelling of the bottom-up effects
of microscale patterns and processes on large scale fluxes
Plankton behavior, including motile
bacteria, motile phytoplankton and zooplankton
Space-time plankton dynamics of
Phaeocystis-dominated ecosystems
Plankton rheology
Effects of climate change on pelagic
ecosystems structure and function
Marine mammals population dynamics
and behavior
