Gauthier Carnat

Gauthier Carnat obtained his master degree in physical geography at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 2007. His thesis work was oriented towards the sulfur cycle in sea ice and more precisely the biogeochemical factors controlling the production of dimethyl sulfide by ice algae. Since then, Gauthier has broadened his scope to include the sea ice carbonate system and the exchange of carbon dioxide and dimethyl sulfide at the sea ice-atmosphere interface. From November 2011, he also started to work with Frank Pattyn and Jean-Louis Tison on the physical and chemical properties of ice cores from ice shelves in the framework of the Belissima project.
