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.
As a senior lecturer, my general research theme is the quantification of elemental transfers.
In this research, with multidisciplinary, national and international partners, I am working on the contribution of natural radioisotopes of the uranium series as tracers and chronometers.
My expertise in isotopic measurement by mass spectrometry, in-situ radioactive counting, etc. allows the study of current (salinisation of coastal aquifers, quantification of flows at the ocean-continent interfaces) and past (ancient hydraulic structures, tuffs, speleothems) water resources. In connection with climate sciences and archaeology, I contribute to the characterization of hydrological conditions, based on the study of carbonate archives at high temporal resolution.
I use this knowledge to teach from the Bachelor's to the Master's level and to supervise doctoral students.
