Projects in progress
Marittimo Seastemar Interreg France-Italy project, 2024-2026, 400kE (Anne Molcard, Yann Ourmières, Alejandro Caceres). The project addresses the risks to navigation associated with the presence of large cetaceans and sensitive species, as well as unpredictable meteorological and maritime phenomena, including variability linked to climate change. The team's main task is to analyse the data acquired during the previous programme, from a hydrological and ocean dynamics point of view, in order to link them to observations of marine mammals. The fusion of data (numerical models, satellite and in situ observations) will provide a classification of species distribution as a function of meteorological and marine scenarios.
CNES-SFUSVEL SFUSVEL 2023-2025 100kE (Alejandro Caceres, Anne Molcard) The aim of the project is to reconstruct/identify/validate satellite surface current data (altimetry and Sentinel SAR), using HFRADAR observations, numerical simulations and learning methods.
Marittimo VAGUE Interreg France-Italy project, 2025-2027 (Alejandro Caceres, Anne Molcard, Vincent Rey), 286 ke. The aim of the project is to develop an innovative system for the conversion of wave energy in the Mediterranean Sea, using laboratory scales and numerical simulations.
ANR OMTeDNA (Yann Ourmières, Anne Molcard), 2023-2027, 98 ke. The aim of the project is to develop passive environmental DNA sensors for monitoring megafauna around anthropised areas such as wind farms. Numerical ocean modelling and Lagrangian modelling are used to identify the origins and trajectories of DNA signals collected by sensors deployed in different environmental conditions.
TPM ENTEM project 15 kE (Yann Ourmieres). The aim of the project is to improve understanding of the transport and stranding of pelagia noctulica jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea. A numerical Lagrangian approach and in-situ drifting float trajectories will be used, along with a multi-year database of jellyfish along the coastline. Hydrodynamic and meteorological conditions are combined to provide a better understanding of mass stranding processes.
