Biography

Dr Marie-Fanny Racault has research expertise is in applications of earth observations, particularly in studying the influence of global and regional climate phenomena (El Niño, IOD…) on the year-to-year variability of primary producers, and assessing future changes under global warming. She has developed phenology algorithms to quantify plankton seasonal cycle in the global oceans and also in regional ecosystems such as the Red Sea coral reefs.
