Mary Robles wins a prize for her thesis at the University of Montpellier!

The research activities of Marie ROBLES, a post-doctoral fellow in the Earth and Planets team, is studying environmental dynamics, climate change and human activities over time (Holocene, Pleistocene, Pliocene) around the Mediterranean basin using multi-proxy approaches including sediment geochemistry (XRF), pollen, Non-Pollen Palynomorphs (NPP) and molecular biomarkers (branched Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers or brGDGT). His research focuses on the reconstruction of environmental and climatic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 3 million years: the case of Lake Acigöl and Lake Burdur in Turkey.

His thesis entitled "Vegetation, climate and human societies in the Mediterranean Basin from the Late Glacial to the Holocene: a multi-proxy approach (pollen, NPP, brGDGT, XRF) from Italy (Lake Matese) to Armenia (Lake Sevan)".under the direction of Odile PEYRON and Elisabetta BRUGIAPLAGIA, has just been awarded the Prix de Thèse Interdisciplinaire 2022 by the Collège Doctoral de l'Université de Montpellier.
