I am a University Professor at Aix Marseille University. I am currently in charge of the Master STPE (https://masters.osupytheas.fr/) and I am also involved in the teaching of the Licence SVT, Parcours Terre et Mer.

In the CEREGE Climate team, I work in the field of paleoclimatology and specialise in the analysis of oxygen and carbon isotopes in carbonates. I apply this geochemical technique to climate archives in order to reconstruct the hydrological cycles of the last millennia. I am developing research in paleoceanography and continental paleohydrology. Since recently, I am interested in the dynamics of microplastics in the bay of Marseille. I am also involved in international educational projects for the integration of climate and environmental issues in university curricula.
