I’m a PhD student in paleoclimatology from the south of France, focused on past climate and ocean changes. While contributing to the broader conversation on climate science, I use underwater photography and film to bring these scientific insights to a wider audience, connecting research with real-world impact.
I explore the intersection between science and art. As a paleoclimatologist and paleoceanographer, my research delves into Earth’s past climates and oceans to understand the patterns that shape our planet’s future. But beyond data and sediment cores, I dive into the depths with a camera in hand — capturing the fragile beauty of the underwater world through photography and film. My work extends beyond the lab and into the realm of storytelling, where I create visual content to engage the public on issues of science, environment, and climate.
Through images, words, music, and sound, I aim to spark curiosity, emotion, and awareness — building a bridge between knowledge and feeling, research and resonance.
Reconstructing past oxygenation in the Mediterranean Sea through geochemistry and modelling. In the past, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced rythmic oxygen depletion of deep water, especially in the Eastern basin, leading to complete anoxia. My Ph.D. will be focusing on two key periods associated with organic rich sediment layer, Early Holocene sapropel S1, and Last interglacial sapropel S5. The main goal is to understand the mechanisms and their importance on oxygen concentration in the water column.
