Physicienne des Observatoires - Full Professor
My research is dedicated to a better understanding of fault processes at various phases of their seismic cycle. I mainly use space geodesy (GPS and InSAR) to monitor the ground deformation and the space / time variations of the earth’s surface deformation. The surface deformation is generated by deeper processes affecting buried faults or magma pockets, and can therefore give us precious insigths on the stress build-up on the faults, the seismic rupture or the post-seismic relaxation.
These last years, I have been mostly involved in projects dealing with subduction’s seismogenic zone processes (in the Andes, in Japan or in Indonesia) or in projects aiming at deciphering rifting processes (in Afar, Ethiopia and Djibouti). I am however interested in in any kind of transient fault processes, including strike-slip faults, or large scale lithospheric deformation.
I have been the PI of the ANR project AtypicSSE (2017-2022), and am currently the PI of the ERC Consolidator Grant DEEPtrigger (https://deeptrigger.osug.fr/).
As part of my observation duty, I am also strongly involved in EPOS (European Plate Observing System). I am responsible of the coordination of the ’GNSS Products’ and am in charge of the EPOS GNSS processing center hosted at CNRS-OSUG.
