Present situation:
Present: “Professeur” (Associate Professor), Université Jean-Monnet, Saint-Etienne and UMR 6524 "Magmas et volcans"
Research interests :
- Formation and evolution of the continental crust, Archaean to present ; crustal evolution
in convergent plate boundaries ; geochemistry of the Archaean continental crust ;
- Partial melting of amphibolites ; genesis of TTG magmas and interactions with the
mantle wedge (“sanukitoids”) ;
- Geochemical modelling of plutonic systems ;
- Archaean geodynamics ; structure and metamorphic evolution of Archaean “orogenies”
; onset of plate tectonics.

- 27 papers published or submitted in international journals, several in preparation (see
list) ;
- 59 communications and posters in national and international meetings ;
- Reports for BRGM (“Cartographie réglementaire des risques sur la commune de Cilaos”
