Luc Beaufort
I am a Senior Scientist at CNRS, CEREGE (France), with a PhD in Paleontology (1991). My research in paleoclimatology and marine geology focuses on microfossils, where I have pioneered the use of AI in species recognition and developed optical methods to estimate microcalcite mass. I have extensively studied the link between past tropical oceanography and orbital cycles.
