My research focuses on the characterisation and modelling of hydrological processes across scales. In particular, I work on:

  • Groundwater–surface water interactions in the anthropised braided system of the Var River, combining hydrometric measurements, geophysical surveys, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based thermal imaging, and numerical modelling.
  • Upscaling local hydrological processes for global-scale models, through the development of an upscaled model to improve the hydrology of column-type Land Surface Models.
