Présentation

**Introduction** I'm a geographer working on interactions between societies and environments in arid and Mediterranean areas during the Late Holocene (Egypt, France, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan). I combine methods of geomorphological and geaoarchaeological survey, study of travellers' accounts, archival documents and satellite images. My current research focuses on the socio-environmental contexts of the development and occupation of Egypt's desert margins over the last 5000 years. **Current position** Researcher, CNRS, HiSoMA ([Website](https://www.hisoma.mom.fr/)) **Research responsibilities** Director of the *Mission Archéologique Française du Désert Oriental* (MAFDO) Co-responsible for the IFAO research program *NOMADES* Co-responsible for the junior Lab *Nomad's Lands* **Participation in projects** *Completed projects* \- 2018 - 2020 - PCR Etude du Bâti de la commanderie de Jalès, Ardèche (dir.
