Profile

I combine the analysis of real landscapes (collection of field data, topographic analysis) with numerical modelling and experimental studies to constrain the relationships between tectonics, erosion and the development of topography. My current research focuses in particular on the release and transfer of sediment and associated hazards. The risks I am interested include flooding risk from in-channel sediment aggradation (e.g., response of Himalayan rivers to earthquakes), and siltation and heavy metal pollution (e.g.,  environmental impact of mining).
