My current research projects focus on: Mountain-building processes and active tectonics in Sicily, Taiwan, and the Tian Shan ranges; Earthquake dynamics and the seismic cycle in the context of intracontinental strike-slip faults and subduction zones; and Interactions between tectonics and surface processes, particularly their role in landscape evolution under changing climatic conditions.
Domains of expertise: Structural Geology, Analog Modeling, Seismic Cycle, Mountain Building, Geomorphology, Remote Sensing, Marine Geology. Manager of the Geosciences Montpellier Analog Modeling Laboratory (LMA).
