Eric GOBERVILLE
I regret to inform you that I will not be able to host interns during the 2024-2025 academic year.
My research focuses primarily on gaining a deeper understanding of how species respond to both natural and human-induced environmental influences within the context of spatiotemporal evolution. My work spans different geographical and temporal scales, with the main objectives being:
- Characterizing ecosystem diversity in terms of functioning and structure.
- Defining and quantifying complex interactions between climate, environment, and biology.
- Developing models to anticipate ecological responses of key species to past and future environmental pressures, such as geographic shifts, extinction risks, and sensitivity to disturbances.
My research approach relies on the analysis of monitoring and observational data, the application of advanced ecological concepts, and the development and utilization of numerical procedures and statistical methods. I place particular emphasis on ensuring that my work has practical and tangible applications, aiming to provide operational tools and indicators to support decision-making in the context of current societal challenges. This includes issues such as the decline of key species, changes in biodiversity, and alterations in the ecological status of ecosystems.
My contributions have been manifested through the valorization of data from national and international research programs. Notably, I have characterized and quantified the links between observed changes in coastal systems, climatic influences, and human impacts. Furthermore, I have highlighted, through an integrative approach encompassing multiple biological compartments, the significant role of large-scale climatic disturbances in the modifications of pelagic ecosystems in critical areas of the North Atlantic. Lastly, I have developed scenarios to anticipate biodiversity changes in oceanic and terrestrial domains. These scenarios have considered various sources of uncertainty, including algorithmic, climatic, and ecological factors, while also accounting for the structuring impact of biotic interactions.
I teach at Sorbonne University, specifically on the Jussieu campus. My teaching activities encompass the following courses:
- General Ecology (Bachelor's, Year 2)
- Applied Statistics/Data Analysis for Biology Students (Bachelor's, Year 2, Bachelor's, Year 3, and Master's, Year 1 in Marine Sciences)
- Modeling (Master's, Year 1 and 2 in Marine Sciences)
- Geomatics and GIS (Master's, Year 1 in EPET)
Additionally, as part of Master's Level 2 Teaching Units offered in Banyuls, I present the core principles of biogeography, specifically focusing on the concept of ecological niche, with practical examples of biodiversity modeling in response to global changes.
