Start of PhD work
Alizée Berthelot is back at LOMIC. During her Master's 2 internship at the laboratory, Alizée studied the impact of the melting of the Cook Ice Cap on the composition of microbial communities in the coastal waters of the Kerguelen Islands (Southern Ocean). Alizée has been awarded a thesis grant from the Université du Littoral, Côte d’Opale to study the bioavailability of iron contained in glacial material for phytoplankton and marine bacteria. The thesis is part of the ANR PIANO project and will be co-supervised by Urania Christaki (LOG, Wimereux) and Ingrid Obernosterer (LOMIC).
