Activities
I am specialised in the study of volcanic emissions to understand processes from the magma reservoir to the atmosphere:
- Analysis of the temporal evolution of volcanic activity
- Processes of gas/magma migration and storage in the volcanic edifice
- Atmospheric transport/chemistry of volcanic clouds
- Impact of volcanic gas/aerosol emissions on the atmosphere
Methods
- Atmospheric chemistry-transport modelling of volcanic clouds (CHIMERE Eulerian regional chemistry-transport model forced by WRF meteorological model).
- Inverse modelling combining satellite observations of volcanic clouds (IASI, OMI, OMPS, MODIS, CALIOP) and chemistry-transport modelling in order to:
- reconstruct volcanic emissions at high temporal resolution
- forecast the atmospheric dispersal of volcanic clouds
- forecast air quality
- Gas/aerosol remote-sensing (DOAS spectroscopy and acoustics) and in-situ techniques (filter packs, cascade impactor)
- Synergistic analysis of ground-based LIDAR and sun-photometry level 2 products
- Joint analysis of gas and geophysical (e.g. seismicity) observations for the study of volcanic processes
- Physical modelling of magmatic and degassing processes
