As a senior lecturer (HDR), I devote my research time to studying current and past water resources in the Mediterranean region in national and international multidisciplinary collaborations. In terms of methodology, I have expertise in isotope measurement by mass spectrometry and in-situ radioactive counting, enabling me to develop the use of natural radioisotopes from the uranium series as tracers and chronometers. At the start of my career I worked on understanding the hydrological balances of anthropised coastal aquifers (salinisation, submarine groundwater discharge). Currently, in connection with climate sciences and archaeology, I am interested in past actions on this resource in carbonate records of ancient aqueducts and mills, speleothems and river tuffs. I incorporate this knowledge into my teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and into my student supervision.
