I seek to understand the climate system through the fundamental concepts of physics, geochemistry, and mathematics. It includes the study of energy and chemical balances, the application of dynamical systems theory, and the role of celestial mechanics underlying the Milanković cycles. It also involves methods for analysing climatic time series, ranging from spectral techniques to non-linear approaches.
My objective is to connect these theoretical concepts with observations. Recent and ongoing projects include identifying the causes and dynamics of climatic events throughout Earth’s history (anoxia, glaciations), developing methods for numerical simulations of climate spanning tens of millions of years, and probing the long-term consequences of industrial emissions on climate, up to timescales of a hundreds of thousand years.
