Biography

My name is Clément Bertin and I am coming from France. I have just graduated from a Phd from La Rochelle University in France. My Phd thesis was focused on modelling the impact of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from Mackenzie River (NWT, Canada) on the air-sea CO2 flux in Beaufort Sea coastal region. I join the ECCO group at JPL to pursue this work on ECCO-Darwin and study the influence of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and particular organic carbon (POC) from coastal erosion. I will also study the effect of subglacial discharge on the coastal air-sea CO2 flux of the Lincoln Sea (Northern Greenland).

Education

  • Ph.D., Earth and Fluid Envelopes, La Rochelle Université, France. (2023)
  • Dipl. Ing., Hydrography and Oceanography, École Nationale des Techniques Avancées (ENSTA) Bretagne, France. (2019)
  • M.S., Ocean and Climate Physics, Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO), France. (2019)
  • M.S., Physical and Biogeochemical Oceanography, Aix-Marseille Université, France. (2017)
  • B.S., Physics, Université de Bordeaux, France. (2016)

Professional Experience

  • Postdoctoral fellow, La Rochelle Université, France. (2023)

Research Interests

My research focuses on the fate of territorial organic matter in the coastal waters of the Arctic Ocean. I use ECCO-Darwin ocean/biogeochemical/sea-ice model to study the effect of terrestrial input from rivers, coastal erosion and glacier discharge on the marine carbon cycle and the air-sea CO2 fluxes.

Selected Awards

  • Arctic Frontier 2022 outstanding poster award (APECS)
