Mesure d'éléments traces dans les coquilles carbonatées de micro-organismes marins sur ICP-AES.
My principal research interests lie in the fields of paleoclimate, paleoceanography and geochemistry. I am particularly interested in foraminiferal chemical and isotopic record from marine archive to study past oceans and climates over time scales of centuries to hundreds of thousands of years. The goal of this research is to elucidate the mechanisms for global climate change on both millennial and orbital time scales. In my group, I am mainly in charge of the Mg/Ca ratio determination, which is used to determine paleotemperature of ocean waters.
