- Description @en
- The team research work concerns various aspects of global carbon cycle changes, mostly at glacial-interglacial timescales. The key instrument for his research work is a multi-box model of the ocean carbon cycle, coupled to a model of sea-floor sediments. Our main interests concern the global operation of the ocean carbon cycle over glacial-interglacial time scales, under the influence of changing interactions with the continental environment. we primarily focus on:
1. the role of changing continental weathering fluxes on the operation of the atmosphere - ocean - upper-sediment subsystem of the global carbon cycle;
2. the impact of glacial-interglacial changes of the terrestrial organic carbon reservoir on the ocean-atmosphere subsystem of the global carbon cycle.
