The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.
Morteza Djamali is a Researcher at French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) working at the Mediterranean Institute for Biodiversity and Ecology since 2011. He obtained an MSc degree in sedimentology from the University of Tehran (2002) and a PhD degree in Population Biology and Ecology from the Aix-Marseille Université (2008). After postdoctoral research at the University of Wyoming (2010) and in the framework of a Franco-Maltese scientific cooperation (2011), he entered in CNRS (2011). His research is focused on Quaternary plant ecology in Southwest Asia and Namibia. He has mainly worked on the role of human activities and the late Quaternary climate change on the vegetation and plant diversity. His main expertise is the pollen analysis but he has been involved in several interdisciplinary projects which combine data obtained from the study of the biological indicators with those obtained through geochemical and sedimentological as well as archaeological investigations.
