Mélanie Becker, a geophysicist and director of research at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), is an expert in sea-level science. Her expertise focuses on regional changes in sea level and the impacts of climate change in deltaic areas, with particular attention paid to the study of interactions between vertical land movements, continental hydrology and sea level variations. She is also interested in the mechanisms and predictability of sea-level change due to natural climate variability and human-induced climate change. She conducts her research at the Littoral, Environment and Societies Laboratory in La Rochelle (LIENSs, CNRS-La Rochelle University).
