Présentation

Research Areas My research focuses on the protection of archaeological heritage from various risks that may affect or destroy it. In particular, it involves the modeling, geosimulation, and mapping of geomorphological hazards related to the evolution of the Nile’s channel and banks, floods, and sedimentation. It also includes the identification and monitoring of anthropogenic risks resulting from territorial transformations and societal dynamics such as demographic growth, urbanization, and agricultural expansion. Furthermore, my work seeks to monitor archaeological sites and detect changes, especially those linked to looting. Beyond these technical aspects, I also explore the collective and geographical construction of spatial memory through the lens of heritage geography in the Sahelian region of Sudan, specifically along the Nile river, in the Middle East, and in restricted areas affected by wars or limited accessibility due to dramatic geography. Geographic Analysis is based on the development and implementation of Earth Observation remote sensing monitoring systems and geo-simulations: multispectral, hyperspectral imagery, artificial intelligence, massive data image processing, multi-temporal geographic knowledge systems, GIS.
