What are the impacts on ecosystems? Can we predict the future of the oceans? Do they play a role in climate change? These questions motivate the study of the oceans, a discipline derived from physics, chemistry and mathematics. Learn more --- Dr. J. Deshayes is a researcher at CNRS-INSU, an expert in ocean dynamics and its modeling. Since 2015, she has been assigned to the LOCEAN laboratory and is responsible for the NEMO R&D team.
