Hervé Claustre
Also known as Herve Claustre
Hervé Claustre is a marine scientist whose research connects autonomous sensing with ocean observation. He planned AI-based analysis of zooplankton images. Claustre joined the Villefranche marine physics and chemistry laboratory in 1990. His work used phytoplankton pigments and satellite observations to study marine life. He moved toward marine robotics in 2005. He worked with academic and engineering partners to develop gliders and profiling robots that collect measurements and transmit them to laboratories. He received ERC funding in 2010 to develop robots and deploy an ocean fleet. He later collaborated internationally through BGC-Argo.
