Research interests:

• Climate variability and decadal forecasts: models and observations
• Mountain meteorology, glaciers, snow cover and hydrology
• Atmospheric physics and chemistry, aerosols

Current activities

• CNRS researcher at the Institute for Geosciences and Environmental research (IGE, Grenoble, France).
• TRAJECTORIES project (2017-2020), socio-environmental evolutions in the Alps, and in particular in three valleys: Arve (Chamonix), Maurienne (Savoie) and Romanche-Guisane. A downscaling of ERA20C over 1902-2010 in the Alps simulated with a regional model is now available online.
• Developing climate models: LMDZ, EC-Earth (global) and MAR (regional).

Collaboration with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)

• Involved in the activities of the climate prediction group at BSC, the troposphere-stratosphere coupling research line.
• Participating in the multi-model decadal forecast exchange coordinated by the MetOffice. Visit this page to see the forecast for the period 2016-2020. A description of the EC-Earth forecast system is available in the 2018 ECMWF newsletter.
• PI of VOLCADEC, to investigate the climate variability related to volcanic eruptions
• Participating in the CMIP6 activity Model Intercomparison Project on the climatic response to Volcanic forcing: VolMIP.
