  Research

Snow microstructure

Study of the snow metamorphism at the grain scale, based on experimental and numerical tools such as microtomography, image analysis and numerical modeling.

Air quality modelling

Air quality modelling and forecasts at continental and regional scales : methodology to evaluate and validate chemistry-transport models. Work based on the MOCAGE model and both campaigns ( ESQUIF and ESCOMPTE) and routine daily forecasts (part of the french national air quality platform PREVAIR)
