About me

I am a researcher at the Laboratory of Physical and Spatial Oceanography (LOPS), Institut Français de Recherche pour l’Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER, Brest, France). With a main observational basis, my research focuses on the large-scale ocean circulation and ocean carbon uptake and storage, with a special interest in studying the physical mechanisms shaping the carbon content in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Interests

North Atlantic circulation
Ocean’s role in climate
Ocean carbon uptake & storage
Nutrient transport
Water mass mixing
Ocean observing systems

Biography timeline

My initial stages in oceanography go back to the age of 18, when I started my degree in Marine Science. Since then, a continuous learning process and advocational efforts, together with quite a few changes of home, country and research institution, brought me here as a researcher @Ifremer.

You are my favourite place to be.
The profession I chose more than a decade ago.
I devote all my efforts and ideas to better understand your functioning. Most of my very best friends and my love, I met them thanks to you. I owe you so much. The ocean, my life.
