My research activities are focused on the architecture of sedimentary rocks and the impacts of climate and tectonic deformation on sediment fluxes at the surface of the Earth, with a strong interest on the quantification of these fluxes.

• Controls on sediment fluxes from source to sink (S2S)
  • Active margin basins (New Zealand, Ecuador)
  • Passive margin (New Jersey)
  • Craton (North Africa
• Sequence stratigraphic architecture of sedimentary rocks
  • Carbonate and mixed carbonate-terrigenous rocks: shallow platforms and ramps, mud and reef mounds
  • Clastic, terrigenous sedimentation: fluvial, eolian, glacial, shallow and deep marine
• Natural hazards : paleoseismology, paleotsunamis and quaternary coastal change

• Passive margin sedimentary architectures & sea Level change. IODP 313 Expedition “New Jersey Shallow Shelf Drilling", INSU-CNRS, IODP-ECORD co-chief scientist
• Quantification of the amplitude of sea-level change at geological time scales, INSU-CNRS, IODP-ECORD France
