activités de RechercheDomaines d’expertises: géochimie sédimentaire (éléments en trace et isotopes Pb, Nd) sur des séries continentales,Méthodes analytiques : Géochimie sédimentaire : Spectrométrie d’émission (ICP-MS, ICP-MS-HR) ; spectrométrie de masse (MC-ICP-MS).Principaux axes de recherches: Reconstitution paléoclimatiques et/ou paléoenvironnementales à partir de l’étude géochimique de sédiments quaternaires (Tourbes, Spéléotheme).

The aim of our work was to study the trace metals pollution in the Misten area (Belgium) at a local and regional level, and track the pollution sources by using Pb isotopes.
