“My research concerns the archaeology, ecology, socio-political organization and economy of
prehistoric and contemporary societies. In addition, I focus on environmental studies and
cultural landscape reconstruction, as well as ecological modeling using Remote Sensing in
conjunction with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), especially in extreme or marginal
ecological contexts (Inner Asian high mountains and deserts, Island Indonesia).”
