As a geographer, geomorphologist and dendrochronologist, my research focuses on the evolution of landscapes since the end of the Pleistocene (20,000 years ago), mainly in the Southern Alps and Provence and in Central Asia. My work is based on a multidisciplinary approach and close collaboration with archaeologists and palaeoecologists. I use different archives to reconstruct the past: tree rings, alluvial and lacustrine archives. I work on Late Glacial and Holocene subfossil tree deposits discovered in the Southern Alps (radiocarbon calibration, palaeoclimatic reconstructions).
