Research

Research area: Organisms-sediments/soils relationships

My goals are (i) to investigate the role of macrofaunal functional biodiversity on sediment and soil functioning and the resulting direct (bioturbation) and indirect (via microbial communities) effects on the fate of natural and anthropogenic organic matter and (2) to study the changes in structure and functioning of organisms/communities affected by anthropogenic inputs. My works are realized according to a interdisciplinary approach involving conceptual, experimental and numerical developments and favor collaborations with EcoLab, French and foreign colleagues.

Ongoing projects:

« Evaluation de l’état de santé des mangroves de Martinique et de Mayotte » ; 2018-2020.
« Evaluation de l’état de santé des mangroves de Guadeloupe » ; 2019-2021.
EU Graphen Flagship Core 2. WP « Environmental Impact »; 2018-2020.
EU Graphen Flagship Core 3. WP « Effects of aged composites containing GRMs on the environment « ; 2020-2023.
