Glaciology

My research focuses on the relations between climate and the mass balance of mountain glaciers, the ice flow processes and the risks of glacial origin (water pockets, supra-glacial lakes and serac falls). Mountain glaciers are precious climatic indicators and this is the main reason for the GLACIOCLIM Observatory that Patrick Wagnon and I founded and which is now coordinated by Delphine Six. I often work with local communities or companies to try to answer questions related to the risks or fate of glaciers. This work requires both observations and modelling and is done in close collaboration with colleagues at IGE and other institutes.
