UNIL - CIRM

I started to work on the effects of climate change on mountaineering during my PhD thesis, defended in 2019 at the University Savoie Mont Blanc. Today I continue to work on this theme at the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche sur la montagne (CIRM) of the University of Lausanne, opening my work to the Valaisan Alps. I am also a Mountain Leader, mainly in mediation and awareness of the effects of climate change.
