Quelle histoire pour les forêts d'Afrique Centrale ? 

ABOUT ME

Archaeologist infiltrated in the world of tropical forestry, my research explores the way past human populations impacted their environment in central Africa.

In particular, I use wood charcoal in soil as a proxy for anthropogenic disturbances and identify the species that burnt during the past at different periods for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction.

Among my challenges: to find evidence of human settlements in remote areas within the African forest, and to develop innovative methods to study wood in all its forms.

I am really concerned about making connections between people and projects, and to share my passions with wider public audiences.

Finally, I am a science-fiction writer!
