Having a Master’s degree in Functioning and Management of marine ecosystems from the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, I did a first internship in modeling at the Laboratoire d’Océanologie et de Géosciences de Wimereux under the direction of Pr. G. Beaugrand. I did my Master 2 internship in chemical ecology at the Oceanography laboratory of Villefranche under the direction of Pr. R Lemée and Pr. O. Thomas in order to study the competition relations between the toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata and a competitive diatom Licmophora paradoxa by a metabolomic approach. I continued my studies with a thesis in marine chemical ecology financed byRead More →

Thomas Burel has a PhD in marine ecology and is an expert in macroalgae. His research activities are currently focused on the functioning of coastal habitats dominated by macrophytes (wrack, kelp, eelgrass and maerl habitats). Within the framework of national and European monitoring, he participates in the evaluation of the ecological status of these ecosystems via the macroalgal component. He also studies the diversity and taxonomy of North Atlantic macroalgae, contributing particularly to the monitoring of non-indigenous species. He particularly encourages this knowledge sharing in the associative framework by organizing seminars and public outings. Since 2017, he teaches general ecology, botany, taxonomy and biostatistics inRead More →
