He holds a PhD from McGill University. He is primarily interested in the carbon cycles in the Anthropocene’s Oceans. He uses numerical models, laboratory experiments and in-situ observations to understand how sediments and organisms at the seafloor regulate the climate of our planet. His research also explores the fate of organic matter in the ocean, thermodynamics of seawater and carbon dioxide removal.
