Work experience
Since 1999 evaluation of the role of soils and agricultural systems in carbon sequestration focusing on soil carbon temporal and spatial dynamics and their integration at regional or national scale (mainly Brazil, French West Indies, Jordan, Kenya, Madagascar, Western Africa, Tunisia and Morocco). Coordinated 15 research projects and participated to 20 other national and international projects. IRD representative in the GEF/UNEP Projects “Carbon Benefits Project (2010-1012), and “Assessment of soil organic carbon stocks and change at national scale” (2002-2005). Co-coordinator and founding member of the Latin American Soil Carbon Network (LASCANet). In 2012, Founding member of the Francophone African network « Carbone des Sols pour une Agriculture durable en Afrique » (CaSA : Soil Carbon for a Sustainable agriculture in Africa). Since 2009, as an FAO Consultant, development of the FAO Ex-ante Carbon-balance Tools (EX-ACT) to provide ex-ante estimates of the mitigation impact of agriculture and forestry development projects (www.fao.org/tc/exact/en/)._x000D_
