I earned my MSc in Environmental Science with thesis on whether nitrous oxide emissions where variable depending on the landscape position and in which order the indirect emissions account to the global budget. My thesis was on the study of the nitrous oxide emissions, at different scales: (i) process scale with batchs slurries, (ii) observation scale, taking in account direct emissions from soils and indirect emissions from aquifers and surface waters and (iii) model scale, with the use of statistical models and the process-based NOE2 model. In the framework of my current postdoctoral fellow for the EU Aware program, I compare emissions of N 2O and other GHG under conventional and organic agriculture, as well as nitrate leaching. RESEARCH INTERESTS Nitrogen and carbon cycles; greenhouse gases emissions and transfer into aquifers; groundwater and rivers water quality; riparian systems; bacterial processes of nitrification and denitrification; hydrology; ecology; modeling.
