Meet Guilhem Chicot – Early Career Scientist

Guilhem Chicot is a French early-career scientist working in geophysics. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Rouen in Normandy and his master’s degree in Geophysics and Coastal Geoscience at the University of La Rochelle in France. He is currently a PhD student at the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the Catholic University of Leuven.

His research focuses on Earth’s rotation and geophysical fluids such as the atmosphere, oceans, and the hydrosphere, which all influence how the planet spins. His goal is to understand how climate change affects these fluids and, in turn, how this impacts Earth’s rotation and the accuracy of our timekeeping and positioning systems.
