APECS Executive Committee

I am a 29 years old big boy from France. Upon completion of my French Baccalauréat, I started a Geography/Geology degree in Paris. I graduated from Université Paris 7 with a maîtrise in Physical geography and moved to Montréal, Canada to get a masters. I stayed three years at McGill University, and graduated with an MSc that had to do with the quantification of coastal erosion on Arctic coasts using remote sensing and photogrammetry. I then got an offer to come to the Alfred Wegener Institute in Potsdam to start a PhD and took it. My research is primarily focused on the impacts of climate change on Arctic coasts. My PhD project involves the use of geospatial tools, including satellite imagery, Geographical Information Systems, and photogrammetry to quantify and characterize the coastal erosion occurring in permafrost regions.

I also take part in some projects in the polar world related to specific science issues (Arctic Coastal Dynamics, SEDIBUD) and to the promotion of young scientists activities (Permafrost Young Researchers Network www.pyrn.org, APECS, WAYS).
