Marielle SAUNOIS

Fonction

Professeure à l’Université de Versailles Saint Quentin. J’enseigne à l’UVSQ et fais ma recherche au LSCE dans l’équipe SATINV.

Je suis responsable du parcours du M2 ECLAT (Etude des climats de la Terre) de l’université de Paris Saclay.

Sujets de recherche

Lors de mon doctorat et mon post-doc, j’ai travaillé sur l’ozone troposphérique : comprendre son bilan en Afrique de l’Ouest (doctorat) et la variabilité de sa distribution verticale (post doctorat).

Mes travaux de recherches actuels portent sur l’inversion des sources et puits de gaz à effet de serre, en particulier le méthane. Mes travaux visent à améliorer nos connaissances sur le cycle biogéochimique du méthane : mieux quantifier les sources et puits de méthane et leur variabilité spatio-temporelle. Pour cela j’applique des méthodes d’inversion atmosphérique à l’échelle mondiale et régionale.

Je coordonne le bilan mondial du méthane (Global Methane Budget), initiative du Global Carbon Project. Les bilans des sources et puits du méthane ont été publiés en 2013, 2016, 2020 et 2025 (voir liste des publications ci-dessous).
