I am a post-doctoral researcher working on the consequences of climate change on marine organisms and how it will affect ecosystems functioning and services. More precisely, I use large scale biological observations (such as shark bio-logging and plankton abundance) associated with environmental data (temperature, oxygen and nutrients concentrations), to (i) investigate how different species respond to past and present climatic variability and (ii) project their future responses in the context of climate change. I am currently working on the OCEAN DEOXYFISH project and how the geographich distribution of some large pelagic predators is going to be altered by warming temperature, low oxygen concentration and fishing pressure.
