M. Goutx (MIO) – France : CNRS researcher at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology (MIO) (Marseille, France). She is a biogeochemist studying the dynamics of dissolved (DOM) and particulate (POM) organic matter at physical and biological marine interfaces, and export processes of DOM and POM beyond the euphotic layer as a function of production regimes. She focused on FDOM sensors with the aim to better observe the distribution and the spatial & temporal variability of natural DOM and anthropogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at basins scale. In this area, at the head of Environmental Chemistry team at MIO, she developed, calibrated and validated a new glider-compatible fluorescence sensor (MiniFluo-UV) for measurements of FDOM and dissolved hydrocarbons in marine waters.
