Recherches et compétences

Ma thématique de recherche rentre dans le double contexte (i) du changement climatique et du possible accroissement des événements extrêmes (tempêtes notamment), et (ii) de nouvelles pratiques agricoles et de leurs conséquences agro-environnementales (sur la dispersion de contaminants et polluants par exemple).

Mes travaux se structurent autour de 3 axes.

• La micrométéorologie à l’échelle du paysage : il s’agit ici de mieux comprendre et prédire la variabilité micrométéorologique liée à l’hétérogénéité spatiale du paysage et son impact sur le fonctionnement des plantes, les échanges plante-atmosphère, et sur la phase biosphérique du cycle de carbone ;
• Les interactions vent-plante où la perspective de la stabilité au vent des peuplements forestiers oriente mes travaux ;
• La dispersion atmosphérique de particules abiotiques et biotiques à différentes échelles dans le cadre des problématiques actuelles autour des OGM, des pesticides, de l’érosion éolienne des sols, etc.
