  • Science communication
  • Benthic ecology: functioning, resilience

 

Current research topic

Currently, I am participating in the Selune restoration project following the removal of two dams on the Selune river course. As part of this project, my job is to coordinate and to promote the scientific program that aims at monitoring and understanding the restoration mechanisms of the river and its valley at different scales: social, biological, hydrological and sedimentary.
