About me ...
Science has always been the obvious choice as I'm constantly looking for answers to better my comprehension of the world we live in.
Born in Lyon (France) in 2002, I'm a third year undergraduated student specialising in Organisms, Populations and Ecostystems biology (BOPE).
In 2023, after two years studying general biology, I decided to focus my studies on marine ecosystems and leave Lyon 1 for Toulon university. This transfer provided courses in adequation with my career plan.
In the future, I would love to work in research labs related to marine ecosystems. I am very much interested in study subjects such as marine echolocation and zooplancton diversity.



What is an Ecoguide ?
Gherissi Axelle
Sponsored by the national parc of Port-Cros, this optional course is meant for us to learn about scientific mediation and animation, as well as acquiring naturalist, geologic and historic knowledge about PACA region...
Toulon small bay study (study in progress)
Gherissi, Belgandouze & Gobi
The small bay of Toulon is a poluted environment due to its touristic attractiveness and its high maritime flow. Therefore we can ask ourselves how the polution can impact the biodiversity and zooplancton population in the bay.
Evaluating la Verne dam eutrophication level
Gherissi, Lopez & Petit
Lake preservation requires optimal ecological conditions to ensure low eutrophication levels and durable stability. In the context of the la Verne water dam study, biotic and abiotic data enabled us to determine the oligotrophic state of the lake.
Springtails, urbanization and litter fragmentation
Gherissi, Ait Omar, Dallen & Baccouche
Mesofauna is a significant player in geochimical cycles. By recycling the organic matter, the small metazoans refuel soils and enable life to start again. However land artificialization induced by urbanization affects metazoa populations and by extent geochimical cycles. This study, conducted in the Lyon 1 University green spaces, focus on the abondance and diversity of springtails and how it impacts litter fragmentation.
