Background

I am a permanent CNRS Researcher at the UMR EPOC (University of Bordeaux) since the 1st of October 2012. I am studying changes in wildfire activity in relation to climate change at multiple time-scales (from centennial, millennial to orbital scales).

 

I received my Masters and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Bordeaux, where I worked with the Paleoclimate Research Group. During the course of my PhD, I entered wholeheartedly into climate change issues and their impact on past marine and terrestrial ecosystems, with a special focus on past fire activity (fire frequency and intensity) and its interaction with climate, vegetation and humans. I developed a specific method to analyse microcharcoal preserved in marine sedimentary archives using image analysis to reconstruct changes in fire activities.

 

As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Bristol (oct. 2008-dec. 2010), I became involved in the Global Palaeofire Working Group (GPWG, http://www.gpwg.paleofire.org/ ). As part of the management group of this international activity, I collaborated in building a global charcoal database including charcoal records from lakes, bogs, soils, and oceans from around the world to address long-term perspective of past fire activity.
