Research interests
- Past hydroclimate dynamic (Indo-Asian and African monsoons, Indian Ocean)
- Past ocean dynamic (Agulhas current, AMOC)
- Data-climate model comparison/integration
- Tools for quantitative ocean paleotemperature and paleosalinity reconstructions
- Climate changes and Human evolution
Orbital cycles
Past climate variability depends on interactions among the different components of the climate system (the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere) and on external forcings that affect Earth’s radiative balance. External forcings are related mainly to astronomical forcings (orbital cycles).
