Mathieu Poupon
PhD Candidate, Princeton University
I am a PhD Candidate at Princeton University working in Pr Laure Resplandy's group to understand the biogeochemical mechanisms controlling carbon transfer between the ocean surface and the twilight zone through observations and modeling. I am developing a migrating zooplankton model in collaboration with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, in order to better constrain the migrant carbon pump.
I have a master's degree in Geosciences from the Ecole Normale Superieure. I worked on oxygen dynamics in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and showed that natural modes of variability coupling ocean and atmosphere (Indian Ocean Dipole, Pacific Decadal Oscillation) could attenuate or reinforce anthropogenic deoxygenation effects.
I'm passionate about outreach and scientific communication, which I have carried out in various forms: series of courses and conferences (TalENS, JAC, Cours Aux Ernests), phone application development (ClimateScience) or video production (Ordre de grandeur). I am currently working on a social media project to help people understand how climate science research works, and what it tells us about the state of the ocean and solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. Stay tuned.
