The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.

The aim of my thesis project is to gain a better understanding of the occupation and use of high mountain areas during the Holocene. To do this, I am applying a coupled archaeological and palaeoenvironmental approach in the Ecrins massif, an area that is particularly sensitive to changes in agropastoral practices over time and to climate change. I am particularly interested in charcoal from archaeological sites and so-called pedological soils.
