I specialise in modelling flows in soils, and my research has focused mainly on the study of dissolved transport of radionuclides in soils and on the development of a model of water flow in a macropores-micropores system. At CEREGE, my research focuses on the development of generic models for predicting changes in all soil characteristics over a century, for the main types of soil and pedogenesis worldwide, in relation to global change.
