I am Doctor in Physical Geography of the University Aix-Marseille (2014, France), Researcher CNRS at the laboratory IMBE (Institut Méditerranéen de Biodiversité et d'Ecologie).
I am a specialist in studying sedimentary archives, especially lake and peat, to explore the interactions between Human, Climate and Environments over the Lateglacial and Holocene. My work relies on a multi-indicators approach including sedimentological, geochemical, geochronological and biological proxies.
I have applied my approach to case studies in France during my MSc and PhD (joint supervision between the CEREGE-IMBE). Then, I have applied my approach to different context during my postdocs in the Mediterranean (Marie Sklodowska-Curie researcher at IPHES, in Spain), in Bolivia, Chile (researcher at ISTerre-CNRS, in France), Kyrgyzstan and Iran (at IPHES and IMBE-CNRS, France).
One of my recent project (as Principal Investigator), "SALTY" (Obra Social La Caixa, 2019-2022 - 305,100€), aimed to explore how the succeeding civilizations have faced with water shortages in semi-arid plains of the ancient Persia (Iran) - Brisset et al., 2019 in Journal of Paleolimnology.
I have been previously PI of the project “MedCoRes” (Marie-Curie Action, 2017-2018 - 150,000€), that aimed to investigate how the last hunter-gatherers and first farmers have responded to rapid ecosystem changes in a context of sea-level rise (Brisset et al. 2018 in Global and Planetary Changes).
To date (February 2020), my track-record includes 20 articles published in international journals (ISI-WoS), 9 of them in first and corresponding author, and 8 without my PhD directors. Almost 80% of them are in Q1-ranked journals (25% of the best journal of their field). I noticeably published my works in GEOLOGY, (Impact Factor:4.4); Quaternary Science Reviews (IF:4.5); Global and Planetary Changes (IF:3.9); CATENA (IF:3.6). My papers received more than 150 citations (Scopus).
Amongst other activities, I have organised two symposiums in international conferences (European Association of Archaeologists in Barcelona 2018, Paleolimnology and Limnogeology Associations in Stockholm 2018). I have also disseminated my work in conferences, that has included 41 oral (including 2 invited conferences at the COP 21 in Paris) and 19 posters. I have been awarded 2 prizes for the quality of my research.
