I am currently postdoc at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at CU Boulder, Colorado (USA) under a Swiss National Science Foundation EarlyPostdoc Mobility fellowship.
I am a mountain geomorphologist and my main goal is to understand the evolution of mountain environments in a deglaciation context linking time scales from millennium to annual. To do so, I use a multidisciplinary approach combining field measurements, remote sensing, geochronology and numerical modeling.
The project I am working on now is about understanding the evolution of glaciated and glacierized areas over the Holocene timescale and more specifically how mountain areas went from glacier to rock glacier dominated. I am working here in close collaboration with Robert Anderson at CU Boulder. As this project will end during the summer, I am thinking about my next move.
I did my PhD working on ice-extent variation and postglacial erosion in the Mont Blanc massif under the supervision of Frederic Herman, Georgina King and Pierre Valla.
