Having recently completed my Master's Degree in Applied Geosciences for Development Engineering (Géosciences appliquées à l’ingénierie de l’aménagement) at the University of Savoy Mont-Blanc in Chambery (France), I was employed last year in an environmental engineering company, ERG Environnement (ABO group), in Marseille (France). Over the past year, I have developed and put into practice my skills as a field geologist on contaminated sites and soils all over France. My work involved pollution valuation, and environmental and hydrological engineering consultancy with a geological value added to the investigations and environmental impact assessment. I also took water, air and soil samples following environmental and scientific standards and expertise. This multidisciplinary approach allowed me to develop mobility, flexibility and adaptability.
My previous academic experience has been strengthened by a naturalistic approach acquired during many weeks of field training in several regions of France. These included geological mapping and the study of natural hazards. Since completing my Bachelors degree in Applied Geology in Nancy (France), I have developed a good understanding of a diverse range of topics including geotechnical land, hydrogeology and environment, natural resources, mineral and energy raw materials, geophysics techniques, natural hazards and geomorphology applied to mountain environments. I would like to specialise in the study and prevention of natural hazards, especially those related to geological and environmental issues closely linked to global climate change.
During the summer of 2011, I completed a two months’ internship in the French company BRGM (Bureau of Geological and Mining Research) in the Department of Safety and Mining Security (UTAM Central West) in Orléans where I analysed and interpreted geotechnical hazards and risk areas applied to on old iron mine in Calvados, France. I also recently completed a six months’ internship in Canada, at the Research Institute of Mining and Environment, with a project aimed at environmental restoring methods of a goldmine site in northern Canada (Agnico Eagle Meadowbank mine, Nunavut). From this, I gained a very unique and rewarding insight which then supported my further studies. Being involved in a famous mining company on an isolated site near the Arctic galvanized and fascinated me. The responsibilities entrusted upon me during these placements have confirmed my aspiration to pursue a career in geosciences applied to the environment, along with deepening my understanding through providing basic knowledge in a specific, extreme and natural context.
