Antoine


 Research interest : 
Morphotectonics: Identification, localization and kinematics of faults (using remote sensing, aerial photography, DEMs at different scales, photogrammetry,..). Characterization of the past ruptures history along active fault systems (detailed mapping of paleoscarps and alluvial/colluvial deposits, geomorphic markers, topographic survey and structural analysis). Material: GPS RTK (R8), Drone, 3DScanner and Total station (Trimble)

Paleoseismology: Trenching and dating key deposits

Geochronology: Coals and vegetals picking for 14C dating. Use and calibration of radiocarbon ages (Oxcal, Calib softwares). Use of Luminescence (OSL), cosmogenic nuclides (10Be, 3He, 26Cl) and radiochronology (U/Th) dating proxies. Basic knowledge about Ar/Ar dating on clay gouge sample.

Geodesy: GPS survey and data treatment

General Geology: Fieldwork geology, tectonics, geomorphology, structural geology, petrology, volcanology

 Research areas : 
 Eastern Taiwan
 UK (Cumbria)
 Mexico (El Mayor-Cucapah Eq, Baja Cal.)
