Mes activités de recherche visent globalement à une meilleure compréhension des processus tectoniques et magmatiques en jeu au niveau des frontières de plaques en domaine marin. Pour cela, j’utilise une approche par sismique active (sismique réflexion multi-traces, en particulier acquisitions 2D longs-offsets et 3D; sismique réflexion haute-résolution; sismique grand-angle par sismomètres de fond de mer), avec l’appui d’autres données de géophysique marine. Il s’agit idéalement de combiner les apports de l’imagerie de réflexion à l’échelle crustale et la quantification (nature et propriétés des milieux) permise par la connaissance fine des vitesses sismiques, obtenues par tomographie ou inversion de formes d’ondes. Mes principaux thèmes de recherche et chantiers associés sont les suivants:
  • Accrétion océanique aux dorsales étudiée en particulier au travers de l’architecture des réservoirs magmatiques (dorsale Est-Pacifique, volcan Axial sur la dorsale Juan de Fuca)
  • Evolution de la lithosphère océanique avant son arrivée en subduction (Cascades, Sumatra)
  • Structure des zones de subduction en lien avec l’activité sismique et la génération de tsunami, déformations dans la plaque supérieure induites par le partitionnement des glissements (Sumatra, Antilles)
  • Structure des failles transformantes océaniques (Chain TF)
  • Déformation décrochante lithosphérique en contexte “intraplaque” océanique (bassin de Wharton dans l'océan indien)
Je suis responsable du parcours “International Master in Solid Earth Sciences”, ainsi que du stage de sismique marine de M2 (acquisition, traitement et interprétation sismique), qui bénéficie de 4 journées de mer/an en Méditerranée au large de Nice à bord du N/O Téthys II de la Flotte Océanographique Française.
