Thesis Title: Droughts and ecological resilience in the Amazon basin
About
I graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris in Geography and Environment (2010) and received a joint master’s degree in Environment from the University Paris Diderot, the National Museum of Natural History and AgroParisTech (2009). I also spent a year studying abroad Physical Geography at the University College Cork during my undergraduate studies in Geography at the Université Rennes 2 (2007).
My research is primarily driven by my interest in environmental dynamics and changes, especially in climate-related issues. My PhD focuses more precisely on the droughts occuring in the Amazon basin and investigates their environmental impacts. One of my purposes is to use the theoretical framework of the ecological resilience to provide an original understanding of these events and of their link to the larger climatic context and a possible dieback of the rainforest.
