Interests
I have been working for several
years as a statistician on ecological issues. I studied first at Université Lyon I, then I
worked for some labs in Lyons (Ecologie Grands Fleuves and Cemagref),
Marseilles (IMEP) and in some UK places like
Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Department of Geography),
Coventry (University of Warwick, Dept of Statistics)
and Kent (Horticulture
Research International). Keywords for my
research activity are:
My main publications are in Ecological modelling,
Climate Dynamics
, Ecoscience
and Forest Ecology and
Management”, Trees -
Structure and Function, Annals of Forest Sciences and Journal
of Biogeography (for full refs, see below). Since 2002, I have
been appointed as a lecturer at IMEP, Publications
