Research Interest
My research program aims to develop a diverse approach, only a priori, of continental palaeoclimatology and global changes. Indeed, my interests allow me to work at different levels of integration from various records. However they have one point in common which is their connection to the global atmospheric circulation. Indeed, I am studying the loess sequences in the aspect of sediment and dust transport (ANR BLANC project "ACTES" funded 2009-2013 + ADOM initiative under the IGBP PAGES in 2009-2012), which means to address both regionally (Europe, North America, Asia) than globally (via possible teleconnections between the various areas mentioned above) the past dynamics of atmospheric circulation. Therefore, my research activities are grouped into three distinct themes : Climate Dynamics during the past climate cycles, both Tertiary and Quaternary Relations between recent climate change and Biosphere Feedbacks in the environmental systems
