Thèmes de recherche

My research focus on the multidisciplinary study of submarine landslides and submarine geohazards assessment through the integration of geotechnical, geophysical and geological data in the Mediterranean, the Lesser Antilles and the Chilean Patagonia. I have been consultant geologist in Fugro GeoConsulting SAS for more than two years, where I was involved in geological desk studies and geohazard assessments for offshore cables, pipelines, windfarms and oil&gas developments.
