Education š
Pierre obtained his Doctoral thesis in 1989 in Quaternary and Prehistory from USTL-Lille. He also holds a Postgraduate diploma (1986) and a Master’s degree (1985) in Earth Sciences from UniversitĆ© Paris XI-Orsay.
Professional Experience š ļø
Pierre has an extensive background in geology, with notable roles in archaeological excavations and geological surveys from 1988 to 1993, working for institutions like AFAN and UNICEM.
Research focus
This individual’s research focus spans the intersection of geology, archaeology, and paleoenvironmental studies, primarily focusing on the impact of climatic cycles on continental Quaternary environments and human-environment interactions since the Lower Palaeolithic. With a diverse array of collaborations and extensive fieldwork across Europe and beyond, they investigate the responses of various geological and archaeological sites to Pleistocene climatic variations. Their work encompasses stratigraphy, sedimentology, dating methods, and archaeological excavations, shedding light on past environmental dynamics and human adaptation. šš¬šļø
