Master's internship: Future of Mediterranean coastal upwelling under climate change
A 5–6 month Master's internship at CNRM, starting in March 2027, will investigate how Mediterranean coastal upwelling may evolve under global warming. Using reanalyses, observations and Med-CORDEX regional climate simulations, the study will explore changes across global warming levels from +1.5°C to +4°C.

CORDEX-CMIP6: Discussing the new generation of regional climate projections in TRACCS
In an interview for the TRACCS newsletter, I discuss the new generation of CORDEX-CMIP6 regional climate simulations, their scientific advances, their availability to the research community, and their potential applications for regional climate change studies.

New CLIVAR–CORDEX Joint Working Group on Regional Ocean Climate Projections
Established in January 2026, the new CLIVAR–CORDEX Joint Working Group on Regional Ocean Climate Projections (JWG-ROCP), co-led by Angélique Melet and myself, aims to strengthen international coordination in regional ocean climate modelling, develop multi-model and multi-region studies, and improve the standardization and dissemination of regional ocean climate projections.
