Off to Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana for a three-month mission, for strengthening ongoing collaborations, initiating new ones, meeting students, and carrying out geological sampling as part of my work at the IRD.

I departed Toulouse late November towards Antarctica to participate in a fieldwork campaign financed by BELSPO and organised by S. Goderis and V. Debaille in the Belgica Mountains. Currently, I’m back to the PEA organising the samples and my return to France. It was an amazing and exciting mission to one of the remotest regionsContinue reading “new paper and fun time in Antarctica”

Following my participation in the REDRILL ICDP workshop in Zomba, Malawi, in May 2023, I attended the ICDP Training Course from May 12-17th this year. During this week-long workshop on the technical aspects of deep drilling at the KTB Geozentrum in Bavaria, I had the opportunity to learn about the principles of preparing an ICDPContinue reading “Participation at the ICDP Training Course 2024”

Together with Q. Deforge, we have organized an interdisciplinary workshop entitled: Energy “transition” and raw material extraction: a dialogue between social scientists and geologists, to be held at the ULB, Belgium. ——- PUBLIÉ LE 22 FÉVRIER 2024 – MIS À JOUR LE 26 FÉVRIER 2024 Workshop organised by Quentin Deforge, Université libre de Bruxelles (REPI, SONYA, iiTSE)Continue reading “Organization of a workshop entitled: energy “transition” and raw material extraction: a dialogue between social scientists and geologists”

The results of the admission phase got released and I’m so excited to announce that very soon I will join the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) as a research scientist! I will be based in Géosciences Environnement Toulouse. I will continue (and further develop) my research on geochemistry of rare earth elementsContinue reading “New position!”

A new paper is out! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/maps.13801 It took a LONG time for it to get published…!We discuss the classification of Famenin and existence of a new group of chondrites, HL chondrites! You can have free access to the paper from the publication section of this website. Enjoy!

Tintigny meteorite fell in February 1971, and finally after 46 years, we got the chance to study it! The results of our study are published in Planetary and Space Science. Check it out! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2021.105372

I was working on classification of an iron meteorite from Iran for almost three years! Now, the classification report is out! Sirjan 001 a new ungrouped iron meteorite! Very unique sample! More detailed works on it are planned! Link to the classification report: https://t.co/q4PCPsS6gc?amp=1

Yessss! I got the great news that my project on the behavior of the REE during extreme chemical weathering is accepted for funding by the Belgian “Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique-Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique”! I am so happy about it! It will give me the opportunity to perform a bit of shift inContinue reading “Project funding accepted!”

I am so happy to announce publication of one of my works on the effects of terrestrial weathering on elemental and isotopic composition of meteorites in Chemical Geology! It is available from here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009254120305957?via%3Dihub If you don’t have access, you can download the accepted version from here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348034880_The_effects_of_terrestrial_weathering_on_samarium-neodymium_isotopic_composition_of_ordinary_chondrites Also you can read my Tweets aboutContinue reading “A new paper is out!”
