2002-2005
PHD student at Laboratoire d'Aérologie
Research topic:
Sediment transport
  - Sediment transport in the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean) is studied thanks to a 3D primitive equation circulation model coupled to a sediment transport model.
- Physical modelling: Rhône plume dynamics, circulation in the Gulf of Fos (see also Ulses et al., 2005)
   
2002
Master training course at Laboratoire d'Aérologie
Research topic:
Circulation in a small semi-enclosed bay
 

Circulation in the Gulf of Fos (France, NW Mediterranean) is mainly under the influence of wind and fresh water inputs from Rhone river and various small local chanels. Because of its special geometry, the Gulf of Fos is clearly separated in two parts with specific circulation patterns and associated renewing time scales. Details can be found in my Master and ESIM reports or in Ulses and al 2005. MORE DETAILS...
