Luc Illien

Funktion und Aufgaben:
Project Manager and Research Scientist for the European Horizon MSCA Doctoral Network EnvSeis (https://www.envseis.eu/)
I have created the workshop 'Mental Health for PhD students' within the Geograduate program (twice a year)
Wissenschaftliche Interessen:
My research consists in monitoring the physical properties of the shallow subsurface (from soils to seismogenic depths) with the seismic ambient noise wavefield. I thrive to work at the interface where environmental and tectonic forcings collide to understand how human societies can settle on the Earth's surface in a sustainable and secure fashion.
My work has led me to investigate a string of topics:
-
Groundwater dynamics and recharge in steep landscapes and mountainous areas
-
The transient hydrological changes observed after earthquakes
-
The link between shallow physical properties and Earth surface processes
My approach is inter-disciplinary and involves a mix of geophysical methods, modelling and observations of independent dataset.
