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
