General topics

Central question: how can food web and socio-ecological models support decision-making for estuarine, coastal and marine spatial management?

Modeling and characterizing the operating properties of food webs in coastal environments:

- comparison of operating properties between coastal ecosystems in relation to their resilience

- research into ecosystem health indicators based on the functioning of food webs

- study the role of climate change and cumulative impacts, in particular the effects of offshore wind turbines.

Methodological work on the modeling and analysis tools used (Inverse Linear Monte Carlo Markov Chain Analysis, Ecological Network Analysis) and the quantification of associated uncertainty.

Modeling of socio-ecological systems using directed di-graphs (qualitative models) and Bayesian Belief Networks, with a focus on indirect effects, between actors, via cascades within the food web. Application to issues linking climate change and wind farm construction.
