Professor Cédric John

Profile

Research Interests include: 

• Use of machine learning, notably neural network, for automatic feature extraction from unstructured geological data (for instance, image recognition of facies in cores)
• Forward modeling of sedimentary processes to constrain the architecture of carbonate systems and the distribution of different facies 
• Clumped isotope geochemistry and thermal history of carbonate, notably applied to carbonate diagenesis
• Continental margin sediment and shallow-water carbonates. notably linked to field research
• Climate change and the environment
