I am a palaeoecologist and archaeologist, and my research focuses on the long-term interactions between human societies and their environment. I am particularly interested in the impact of land-use practices on vegetation, as well as the landscape transformations driven by human migrations and cultural exchanges. My work pays special attention to the history of fire and the ways in which societies have constructed their identities through their relationships with landscapes. To address these questions, I employ a multiproxy approach that includes pollen analysis, non-pollen palynomorphs, and fire signal reconstructions, applied to natural and archaeological deposits. This methodology allows me to investigate how landscapes were shaped and how human communities responded to climatic changes and socio-economic and political dynamics.
I am currently involved in the ANR-funded ISEMA program (2024–2028, PI: J. Ros), which examines how medieval Andalusian agricultural practices transformed the landscapes of Ibiza (Balearic Islands, Spain). More broadly, my role within the project is to analyze the transformations induced by cultural exchanges in the western Mediterranean between the 8th and 16th centuries.
