Researcher in coastal geography at France Energies Marines

I model, assess, and map coastal socio-ecosystem trajectories under human pressures to inform sustainable maritime planning.

I am a geographer and researcher at France Energies Marines. I apply ecosystem services, life‑cycle assessment, and social‑ecological systems frameworks to evaluate how marine renewable energy transforms coastal landscapes. Drawing on human geography and ecology, I produce decision‑support tools and facilitates inclusive engagement with local communities.
