Research
My research aims at understanding the 4D evolution of sedimentary basins and their controlling factors, from the first order lithospheric parameters, to the timely influences of the local surface environment.
Planetary and Basin Geologist, I am specialized in integrated multi-scale studies and interpretation of past basins and paleoenvironments through a large disciplinary spectrum:
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy
Geomorphology
Geochemistry (isotopic ratios of C and O, Trace & Major elements)
Geologic Mapping
Geophysics (Aeromagnetic and Gravity anomalies)
Tectonics and Structurals
To apply these methods to remote planetary outcrops situated on Mars or Luna, I reconstruct detailed and accurate Digital Outcrop Models using photogrammetry based on actual images of the planetary surfaces taken by our robotic explorers (rovers, landers).
I particularly focus on various outcrops of the Gale and Jezero craters (Mars) along the traverses of the Curiosity rover (MSL mission) and Perseverance rover (Mars2020 mission).
I participated in developping new inovative and immersive tools, in collaboration with VR2Planets , to explore and characterize these outcrops in Virtual Reality.
The VR approach provides a new way to explore, describe and characterize accurate reconstructions of the outcrops on Mars, but also on Earth, which opens new opportunities for the education of the next generation of (planetary) geologists, but also for our day-today research.

Teaching
I am involved in the supervision of several Bachelor and Master’s degree students each year, in collaboration with other universities across France (Nantes, Dijon).
In the past, I held reponsabilities and was involved in praticals courses in Sedimentology, Tectonics, Mineralogy/Petrography and Geological Mapping at Bachelor level.
I am frequently guest speaker for Master’s degree and PhD/Post-Doc schools for Virtual Reality Geology and fieldwork.
I also participated as a VR guest instructor to the European Space Agency PANGAEA Geology school for astronauts in 2021.
