RESEARCH

My research deals with the interactions between natural environment and human activities in different natural and man-made settings. I focus on the spatial distribution of specific land cover and land use, by using remote sensing images, and other geographic and socioecnomic dataset. I am especially interested in populations prone to disparities in access to natural resources and/or amenities and services. My study areas include both cities, like Montréal and Hanoi, and rural areas, like coastal zones of northern Vietnam and the upland Sino-Vietnamese borderlands.
