Projects:

Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship CROSSROADS (Climate ReOrganizations at Synoptic Scale as Recorded in the Offshore Archives of the Dead Sea). During this project, I focus on the Holocene halite deposits of the deep -ICDP core 5017-1. Using Brillouin spectroscopy (University of Lyon), Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS, Binghamton University) and chemical modelling with Phreeqc, I reconstruct the chemical composition of halite fluid inclusions. Because halite precipitates when the lake is fully mixed, the composition of the fluid inclusions provides us with the average chemical composition of the lake. In turn, the magnesium concentration can be used to reconstruct the volume, and using the bathymetric curve the lake level, of the Dead Sea throughout the Holocene. Using Nucleation-Assisted Microthermometry (University of Bergen) and halite fluid inclusion modelling with HaliBubble, I reconstruct the temperature of the lake throughout the Holocene. I develop a thermal model of the Dead Sea in order to interpret these water temperatures in terms of air temperature. The final goal of the project is to obtain a Holocene timeseries of air temperature and lake level to investigate the synoptic-scale changes in atmospheric circulation.

Awards:

  • Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Postdoctoral Fellowship: CROSSROADS project, awarded in2021 (265,000 €)
  • Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship: awarded in 2021 (98,000 €)
  • Doctor with graduate school H2O'Lyon certification. H2O'Lyon aims to build a research school on Watershed Sciences. It is based on a resolutely interdisciplinary approach integrating Human and Social Sciences, Physical and Engineering Sciences, and Life Sciences to better understand all the issues related to their operation and mana
