Research interests
I am greatly interested in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems at the intersection of ecological and societal issues. My research focuses on springs and their associated fauna, examining the impact of environmental changes and human activities on their integrity and functioning. I am especially keen on exploring springs as aquatic habitats within a broader ecological dynamic, adopting a territorial approach that integrates climatic and agricultural challenges. At the moment, I am working on the inventory and assessment of springs in the Vosges Mountains.
