My work contributes to a better understanding of the present and past oceanic carbon cycle. For example, the determination of the sediment trap efficiency with Th isotopes puts strong constrains on the biological pump of carbon. I am involved in the french programs KEOPS , BONUS-GOOD HOPE, ISOFLORE (PI) and in international program GEOTRACES. In the past I have studied the mantle/crust differentiation through the use of the 187Re-187Os isotopic pair. I also keep an activity in isotope geochemistry applied to polution tracing on continents. Over the years, I have developped a strong expertize in clean chemistry fo trace elements and mass spectrometry. I teach at licence ald master of university level courses in Marine Biogeochemistry, Isotope Geochemistry, Earth and environmental sciences. With collaboration of L. Labeyrie and D. Paillard I have created the Master “Interaction Climat-Environnement and Remote Sensing” (www.ice.uvsq.fr) in 2004 and I direct it since its beginning. Selected recent referee publications: M.

Experience and expertise: My research focuses on reconstructions of paleoclimates and paleoenvironments in order to underrstand the mechanisms of abrupt climate change. I measure stable isotope and trace element tracers on biogenic carbonate to quantify past changes in ocean salinity and temperature. The results I obtain serve to reconstruct past changes in ocean circulation and climate change. I have used two types of fossil records: - Ocean sediment deposits which provide records of past changes in ocean hydrology and deep water circulation with centennial to millennial resolutions. I focused particularly on understanding the role of North Atlantic Ocean circulation patterns in the mechanisms of abrupt climate change. - Marine bivalves which provide paleorecords with seasonal resolutions at high and low latitudes. I teach at all levels: 1st and 2nd year courses in oceanography and global environmental processes. 3rd year course in quaternary environmental changes and 4th year courses in global environmental change. I provide basic quantitative tools in the field of environmental geoscience and incorporate recent progress of research at 3rd and 4th year level. I supervise two PhD students and co-supervise 2 PhD students. I also supervise several 4th year honours/masters level student research projects per year. Since 2006, I am the Environmental Geoscience degree programme coordinator and participate in several research and teaching based committees in the School
