Scientific interests

Numeric modelling of past, present and future climate, in particular :

Ice sheet climate : surface mass balance and near-surface climate and role of ice sheets in regional and global climate
Surface/atmosphere interactions and climatic effects of high latitude lakes and wetlands, permafrost, vegetation and snow
Development of regional climate modeling methods

This modelling work is principally carried out with the LMDZ atmospheric general circulation model and the ORCHIDEE land surface model.
