Mes domaines d’étude sont principalement la géophysique et la télédétection pour le suivi des risques naturels dans un environnement de changement. Je me concentre principalement sur les régions polaires où mes études tentent d’établir les liens complexes entre l’activité humaine, les changements climatiques et les risques naturels qui y sont associés. Je tente de voir l’évolution de ces risques à long terme à l’aide de modèles en intégrant des mesures terrain.
