Forewords
So far, the research themes I have worked
on can be separated in two distinct fields: the first is related
to coastal processes and more precisely to sea bed ripples and
wave-induced flows while the second is related to operational oceanography
and more precisely to data assimilation methods for Ocean General Circulation
Models.
The first theme corresponds to
the topics considered in the PhD I have achieved in 2003, in the
School of Civil Engineering and the Environment in the Hydraulics
Research Group, at the University of Southampton.
This project has been conducted under the supervision of professor
John
R. Chaplin.
The second theme corresponds to
the research I am currently conducting in the LEGI (CNRS Laboratory,
Grenoble, France). First, I have conducted a project during the year
2004 as a research engineer for the MERCATOR group, under
the supervision of JM
Brankart and Pierre
Brasseur. I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher
funded by the MERSEA project, in the LEGI. This second project
started in 2005 is due to end in February 2007.
