Short summary of the research :

 

As a climate modeller, I studied very different climate contexts from “snowball earth” (800-600 Ma) [1] to more recent climate associate to the onsets of Sahara [2] and of Asian Monsoon [3](7 Ma). I am also interested by the relationships between climate and mountain uplift [4] and emergence of hominin [5].
My major focus concerning Quaternary are the shift between interglacial and glacial cycles [6] but also glacial climate variability [7][8].
