Research

Research interests:

My research focuses on the hydrodynamics of the tropical deltaic regions (Bengal, Amazon), as well as other vulnerable tropical coastal regions in general, and on the impact of climate variability on the land-sea continuum over these territories. I use jointly hydrodynamical numerical modeling, remote sensing and in situ observations to understand the processes of water level variability. I have a specific interest for extreme events and related environmental hazards. I am interested in the assessment of socio-economic risks associated to these hazards.
