Scientific interests
- Physical Oceanography - modelling and observations. I am interested in physical processes in coastal, shelf and shelf-edge environments, with a particular focus on the mechanisms of horizontal dispersion and the biological impacts of this dispersion.
Current projects
- ECOMAR - Ecology of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
- TOPODEEP - Impact of the Geometry of Submarine Landscapes on Deep-Sea Biogeochemistry
