Dissemination

Broad audience dissemination

In schools (7-9 years old)

Through the art project of S-composition, I have been invited to make several presentations to introduce scientific notions to young children (CM1 and CM2 classes) from the Primary School Saint-Exupéry in Sevran, France.

My interventions took place on the following subjects (2024-2025):

What is the Critical Zone ? (in French)
The intricated water and carbon cycle (in French)

In broad audience summer schools (art & sciences)

Following Bruno Latour concept of Geopathy and ‘Where to Land?’ workshops held with high school students, Jean-Pierre Seyvos and Chloe Latour are building up a yearly summer school on Geopathy (since 2024). Faced with the gap between the general public's scientific understanding of Earth sciences and the rapid changes affecting these disciplines, ‘geopathy’ offers everyone the opportunity to embark on a journey of re-sensitisation to the scientific, economic, political and collective realities of the Earth. Participants of these summer schools come from very different background, specialties, and interests...

My interventions took place on the following subjects:

Hands-on workshop/practice : using physical sensors and geophysics tools to characterize and image the underground.
Class on "Seeing invisible water, or how to image groundwater with the geophysical toolbox" (Voir l'eau invisible, ou comment imager l'eau souterraine avec la boite à outils géophysique, in French).

Interviews

Over the years, I had the pleasure to be interviewed:

Podcast Science #192 - Freestyle #9 (in French) : https://www.podcastscience.fm/emission/2014/11/09/podcast-science-192-freestyle-9/
Interview about Hydrogeophysics, scientific publications, and the peer reviews process.
GÉO Logique (YouTube channel) : Géodossier - "Géophysique, un nouveau "sens" pour suivre la déformation des argiles"
Interview with Emmanuel Léger (in French)

Art & Science

INTER-RADIX project

The INTER-RADIX project is an Art&Science project in collaboration with Anaïs Lelièvre (plastician artist).

At the intersection of earth and life, geology, biology and societal issues, the project explores the invisible part of living things: this "critical zone" (nicknamed the ‘skin of the Earth’), which forms the foundation or even the breeding ground for the planet's habitability, guides the circulation of water and the development of plant roots according to the types of materials present, and is in turn transformed by living beings and the behaviour of societies. Understood as a process, this environment, criss-crossed by complex interactions, challenges the separation between the geos and the bios in order to open up a broader conception of life and to reposition us in continuity with minerals, clay and water in an intertwining that exceeds individual roots to deploy an interconnected root system in an ecosystem.

This project is funded by the IBEES (Biodiversity, Evolution, Ecology and Society Initiative) of the Sorbonne University Alliance (Sorbonne University) led by Anthony Herrel (National Museum of Natural History).

On October 21, 2025, the first step of the project was a visit of the Larzac Critical Zone Observatory (OZCAR RI and SNO H+) with Cédric Champollion. We look at a very nice dolomitic Critical Zone, where rocks (dolomite) becomes soils, nurrish plants and micro-organisms...

... we even met the Ghosts of Karst !
