He then worked in the UK from 2007 to 2009 at an environmental consultancy, focusing on regional groundwater models. In 2010, he began his PhD in Marine Geosciences at the University of Bremen and MARUM, completing his degree in 2013. His research during this period concentrated on optical seafloor mapping to better understand the dynamics of seabed fluid flow processes. <br /> <br /> From 2014 to 2017, Yann joined the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), where he conducted optical exploration and benthic surveys of deep-sea ecosystems. In 2017, he returned to the Marine Geology group at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Bremen and MARUM. During this time, he contributed to the installation of new monitoring instruments at the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) cabled observatory to study the temporal dynamics of seabed methane emissions. Given his technical expertise, he transitioned in 2025 to the new Seafloor Exploration group within the MARUM Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences. <br /> <br /> Yann has worked extensively with imagery datasets be it optical or acoustic data with the aim of describing and understanding seabed fluid flow processes. Since 2022, he has increasingly incorporated convolutional neural networks into his work, particularly for automating object detection tasks in underwater imagery. Because of the large size of the datasets he works with, he is dedicated to developing new methods that can facilitate or automate analysis and processing of underwater optical and acoustic data. </p> Content content-669785 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:23:33 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/data-science-center/research/members/dr-yann-marcon#c669785 <p>MARUM Center for Marine and Environmental Sciences<br /> University of Bremen<br /> GEO Building / Room 1200<br /> Klagenfurter Straße 2-4<br /> 28359 Bremen</p> <hr /> <p>Tel. +49 (421) 218 65057</p> <p>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:ymarcon@marum.de" target="_blank">ymarcon@marum.de</a></p> Content
