Background

About Mathieu Dever

My research interests focus on ocean circulation at different spatial scales. Specifically, ocean dynamics over continental shelves relating to currents, their interaction with surface winds, and the effects of bottom topography. More recently, my interests led me to investigate the role of fine-scale dynamics in the export of carbon in the deep ocean. My research methods are primarily observation-driven using a large variety of oceanographic instruments (e.g, moorings, floats, underwater gliders, satellites, etc.). However, my work also relies on conceptual models based on theoretical frameworks, as well as numerical model used in process studies. Although my interests are centered on physical oceanography, I regularly engage in cross-disciplinary studies linking ocean physics to other oceanographic disciplines.
