Introduction: As a researcher at CEA in the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement, my main focus is the interactions between humans, climate, and the environment over the last decades. I am particularly interested in the consequences of land-use changes during the Anthropocene, linked to the intensification of agriculture in different regions of the world (France, Uruguay, Brazil, Laos, Mayotte), to understand their impacts on the degradation of water resources, soil, and biodiversity. I am also developing research on the consequences of wildfires on socio-ecosystems.
