Director of Research (Directeur de Recherche) in Ocean Physics and Climate Dynamics

Research Interest

My research interests focus on the stability and the low-frequency variability of the ocean circulation and its role in the climate system. Specifically, I am investigating the impact of forcing, such as the freshwater & heat fluxes or wind stress, initial condition, and mesoscale turbulence on the ocean and climate dynamics through analytical approaches and numerical modeling.
