I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the French National Research Institute  for Sustainable Development (IRD), currently studying the effects of Andean camelids on proglacial ecosystems develoment, as a strategy for adapting to global warming.

My broad research interests lie in the processes and implications of global change within mountain environments, with a specific focus on proglacial landscapes. I study how physical, ecological, and social processes interact to drive ecosystem changes in new alpine proglacial landscapes and how these inform the best adaptation strategies. My research investigates in tandem the processes of primary succession and geomorphological dynamics of proglacial landscapes. I combine plot surveys with macro-scale UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) remote sensing methods. One experiment of the research also introduces grazing animals as a strategy to enhance healthy proglacial ecosystem development. This work aims to advance land use management to maximize adaptation services of young proglacial ecosystems.
