Research Activities
•
•
•
From 1968 to 1970, applications of isotopical methods to the study of hydrological,
hydrogeological and limnological processes.
From 1971 to 1983, studies on the economics of water and water management with a
strong emphasis on mathematical modelling, both for simulation and optimization
purposes.
Since 1984 especially interested in identification and modelling of rainfall fields at all
time-space scales. In the African Sudano-Sahelian region, designing and operation of a
rainfall gauge network in Burkina Faso (1986-1990). Field measurement campaigns in
the French Guiana rainforest (PEGI Program-1992). Development and application of
geostatistical, fractal and multifractal methods for rainfall field and time series
analysis. Participation in the UNESCO FRIEND-AMHY (Alpine and Mediterranean
HYdrology) project (a long time series working group). Member of the CNRS
Common Research Unit 7619 (UMR SISYPHE).
