Mohsen Feizabadi

I have master’s degree both in Geomatics engineering (Istanbul Technical University, Turkey) and Geography (Université de Montréal). In Geomatics, my research focused on geodesy and specifically studying geoid determination and evaluation by the satellite and in-situ data. I continued my studies to investigate the sea level changes of Blacksea using tide-gauge and satellite altimetry data.


Théau Leclercq

Théau Leclercq

Théau Leclercq graduated from the University of Québec at Rimouski (UQAR-ISMER) in the winter of 2022 with a Master's degree in oceanography with a specialization in physical oceanography. His research topic was on the Gaspé Current, and more specifically on observations and processes of upwellings and downwellings on the edge of this large current.

He also holds a bachelor's degree in hydrography and the IHO Cat.B certification, which he obtained in July 2019 thanks to the new training program offered by the University of Western Brittany in partnership with the SHOM school.
