Main research topics

My research activities concern the monitoring of atmospheric composition by infrared spectroscopy from space. The work of my team covers the mission design, the development of algorithms to derive gas and particle concentrations from radiance measurements, the validation of the measured quantities, and the scientific use of data for pollution and climate monitoring.

My flagship mission, which keeps me busy since 1993, is IASI. Two team of about a dozen people each are working to exploit the data of this mission: one located at LATMOS/Sorbonne Université (see picture) and one located at Université Libre de Bruxelles.
