As an international multidisciplinary research and teaching centre and a centre of excellence in terms of human and technical resources, CEREGE covers almost the entire field of environmental geosciences.
By joining forces with other major national and international research structures and with industrial and technological players, CEREGE is now a centre of excellence in the field of geosciences.
CEREGE provides the academic and industrial scientific community with a range of high-tech resources.
CEREGE's teaching covers the entire spectrum of training in Earth and environmental sciences, from undergraduate to doctoral level.
Through the dissemination of its scientific communication, CEREGE aims to establish a permanent dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially the younger generation.
I am interested in the correlation between the sedimentary deposits of the deltaic plain and the prodelta of the Rhône during the recent Holocene. My research focuses on the Camargue, characterised by vast stretches of sansouïre plains, lagoons and marshes (Image no. 1). The landscapes and land use of the Camargue are a key issue in the representation of micro-topography, particularly in the context of the study of fairly fine sedimentary deposits. Several tools are being used in my thesis. For example, electrical resistivity tomography (Image no. 2) provides an index of the first few metres of soil and can be used as a decision-making aid for more costly and time-consuming operations, such as coring and trenching (Image no. 3).
