I am a glacial geomorphologist, paleoclimatologist, and geochemist driven to understand how glaciers interact with climate. My research focuses on how glaciers have responded to past climate changes over long timescales. To do this, I reconstruct glacier chronologies using glacio-geomorphological mapping and cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating. I also investigate the climatic drivers of past glacier changes using additional climate proxies and collaborations with glacier and climate modelers
I completed my PhD at Aix-Marseille University – CEREGE (France), where I studied the paleoglaciers of the Kerguelen Archipelago (49°S, 69°E) and reconstructed paleoclimatic conditions since Marine Isotope Stage 3. I am also interested in Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier evolution in various regions, including the Greater Caucasus, southern Greenland, Nepal, and the European Alps.
During my postdoctoral research at LDEO, I am expanding my expertise by integrating a new methodological approach that utilizes multiple cosmogenic nuclides (e.g., 36Cl, 10Be, 26Al, and 41Ca). This approach allows me to analyze subglacial materials beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet to constrain past periods of burial and ice-free conditions in Greenland.
