Coming soon!
One month deployment onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft for the ATom project in May 2018:
- installation, operation and maintenance of a chemiluminescence instrument to study ozone and reactive nitrogen species in the remote troposphere
- total of 13 flights (∼10 hours per flight) along latitudinal transects over the Pacific and the Atlantic Basins from the Arctic to the Antarctic
- constant vertical profiling of the atmosphere
Two weeks field campaign for FOFAMIFS project in May 2017:
- complete setup of the instruments on the Stromboli volcano (meteorological station, aerosols and gaz collecting lines)
- daily sampling of aerosols and gaz emitted from the Stromboli
- in field conditioning of samples for future lab analysis
Stromboli craters and volcanic ashes
Setting up the instruments
The collecting lines coupled to the meteorological station
Two years (2015 & 2016) field campaign:
- complete setup of the instruments on the study site (Aerosols collector, Wet and Dry deposition collector, ISCO collectors)
- weekly sampling of aerosols, precipitations and rivers
- monthly sampling of soils (cores + bulk), plants and snow (pits + cores)

Two weeks field campaign for ARCSNOW project in September 2016
:
- installation of a Wet and Dry deposition collector
- set up of snowpack height measurement transects
- training of the winterovering personnel

Two days field work on a French glacier for GLACIOCLIM project in September 2016:
- accumulation measurements (stakes technique)
- snow height measurements on GPS delimited transects across the glacier
Saint-Sorlin glacier, French Alps
Snow height measurement along a GPS delimited transect
One year winter over (2011) in a French/Italian research station.
Two weeks routine based on:
- snow surface and pits collected for nitrate analysis > SUNITE DC project
- outside air analysed for DMS and DMSO, acid gases, ozone, radon and aerosols > CESOA project
- maintenance of meteorological instruments > CALVA project
- maintenance of a camera for ice texture monitoring > NIVOLOGIE project
Lab work: air analysis for DMS and DMSO
