My research is focused on the structure and evolution of hyper-extended rift system. During my PhD I was working on the Iberia-Newfoundland rifted margins. I am on the JOIDES.<\/p>\n<p>After high school, I studied<br \/>\nEarth Sciences at the University of Strasbourg where I obtained my doctorate in December. My<br \/>\nresearch focuses on the structure and evolution   of hyper-stretched rift systems. During<br \/>\nmy Ph.D. I worked on the conjugate margins of Iberia and<br \/>\nNewfoundland. I am on board the Joides Resolution to determine whether the<br \/>\nrifting processes in the South China Sea are similar or not. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC00142-FILEminimizer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC00142-FILEminimizer.jpg 640w, https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC00142-FILEminimizer-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Q: When did you decide to be a scientist?<\/p>\n<p>M: I think that I never decided to be a scientist. I was always interested by earth process like earthquakes, volcanoes, flat motion &#8230; I just followed my curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>J e think I never decided to be a<br \/>\nresearcher. I have always been interested in earth processes such as earthquakes,<br \/>\nvolcanoes, plate movements &#8230; and I simply followed my curiosity.<br \/>\nQ: What is your job here in the ship?<\/p>\n<p>M: On the JOIDES Resolution I&#8217;m a core describer and more specifically a structural geologist. Basically I&#8217;m working with the sedimentologists and the petrologists to describe the lithologies of the cores. What is a deformed or deformed state of the art?<\/p>\n<p>Aboard the Joides Resolution I am part of the<br \/>\ngroup of description of the carrots and I am more particularly a<br \/>\nstructural geologist . My specialty is to describe and measure areas that are<br \/>\ndistorting and determine whether this deformation can be related to a<br \/>\ntectonic, sedimentary or magmatic process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC09974-FILEminimizer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC09974-FILEminimizer.jpg 640w, https:\/\/joidesresolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC09974-FILEminimizer-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Q: What is the best thing in this expedition?<\/p>\n<p>M: Food?
