  1. #Introduction

    Hello fediverse,

    I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at #CNRS and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

    For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

    In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasmas physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

    I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

    I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

    While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

    I may still post the occasional #Birdphotography and #NaturePhotography of #LariegeCestMoche here to pimp this new TL though 😎

    RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

  3. #GolfeDeGascogne la pêche de nouveau suspendue pour protéger les dauphins
    lareleveetlapeste.fr/golfe-de-

    À partir du 22 janvier et pour un mois, la fermeture spatio-temporelle de certaines pratiques de pêche sera effective pour la 3e année consécutive […]. Cette mesure a fait baisser la mortalité des dauphins, mais son avenir après 2026 reste incertain.

    Le phénomène n’a rien d’anecdotique : selon l’Observatoire Pelagis du #CNRS, près de 10 000 #dauphins y meurent chaque année par capture dite “accessoire”.

    Depuis la mise en place des fermetures les chiffres sont sans appel : entre décembre 2024 et mars 2025, la mortalité des dauphins a chuté d’environ 60 %.
