Benthic foraminifera as proxies for global change.
- How does global change penetrate in the deep-sea?
- How does the deep-sea relate to conditions and life at the surface?
- Contribution to the study of the current climate change.
Zealandia, the submerged continent.
- How did the continent, and its climate, evolve over the last 70 million years?
- Benthic foraminifera: species, endemisms, evolution.
- Paleobathymetric reconstructions.
- Subduction, geological risks.
