Jerôme Cardinal
Phd candidate, CITERES research centre
Jerôme joined Cities, Territories, Environment and Societies research centre (CITERES) as a Phd candidate in 2020. His thesis analyses distributive and spatial effects of ACC policies in a context of flood risk management. Before, he realized several research missions related to environmental topics. From 2019 to 2020, he was a research assistant at the University of Lille in a research project on the governance of marine spaces. He also worked as a research assistant in l’Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales (IDDRI), a think-tank linked to Sciences Po Paris, on the governance of the French dairy sector (2018-2019). He received his Master’s degrees on political science from the University of Sciences Po Rennes and from the agronomy University AgroParisTecch
Sofia Guevara Viquez
Research Fellow, CITERES research centre
In December 2020 Sofia obtained her PhD in
urban planning from the Gustave Eiffel University in Paris. In her thesis, she
analysed risk management committees which were created to encourage
citizen participation in risk management policies in Costa Rica’s capital, San
Jose. She studied the interactions between inhabitants and local authorities
within these committees in two case studies. Before, Sofia worked in a French
research project, at the University of Tours, about urban projects in
flood-prone areas (2014). The purpose was to study how city planners handle
practical barriers in risk management solutions. She received her Master’s
degrees on political science from the University of Sciences Po Rennes and
on social science from the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.

Marie Fournier
Assistant Professor,
Geomatics and Land Management Research Center
Marie is an assistant professor in spatial and urban planning at the National
Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, where she is also a member of the Geomatics
and Land Management research Centre. Her PhD (2010) focused on public
participation in flood risk management policies on the Loire River basin. She
was involved in 2 European research projects: FP7 STARFLOOD and JPI Climate
2013 TRANSADAPT. She also participated in research projects focusing on the
implementation of river and wetland management policies in France. Her main
research topics include local governance, institutional arrangements and land
use regulations in wetlands, flood management and adaptation policies in France
and Europe. She is a member of the European Long Term Environmental Research
"Zone Atelier Loire".
Maylis Desrousseaux
Assistant professor, Geomatics and Land Management Research Center
Maylis is an assistant professor in environmental law at the Higher
School of Surveyors and Topographers at the National Conservatory of
Arts and Crafts. She holds a PhD in public law from University of Lyon 3
(2014). For several years, her research has been related to the perception of
soil by law, nationally and internationally. These reflections led her to
question the notion of the common good, confronted with various regimes of land
ownership. By extension, her works address various issues such as agriculture,
biodiversity protection and environmental governance. She is a board member of
the European section of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB), and
participate to the International Commission on Environmental Law of the
International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Nathalie Thommeret
Assistant professor, Geomatics and Land Management Research Center
Nathalie is an assistant professor in geomatics at the Higher School of
Surveyors and Topographers at the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. She
received a PhD in Geography University from University of Paris 1 in 2012. Her
research mainly deals with the development of tools using GIS and data analysis
to characterize spatial phenomena for various applications (mainly in riverine
environments). She contributes in particular to a national tool for assessing
the hydromorphological quality of rivers. In SOLARIS, Nathalie Thommeret will
mainly contribute to WP1 (Conceptual framework) and WP2 (Case study Analysis).
