PRÉSENTATION
Développer des outils numériques innovants pour prédire l’occurrence des phénomènes gravitaires affectant les territoires de montagne sous forçage climatique.
Concevoir, dimensionner et requalifier les infrastructures dans les secteurs du transport, du tourisme, de la mobilité, des ressources énergétiques et de la protection contre les aléas gravitaires.
Analyser les enjeux environnementaux liés aux écosystèmes hydro-glaciaires, comprendre les divers processus d’évolution et d’interaction, et dégager des clés de gestion en termes de biodiversité, de ressources énergétiques, et d’usages touristiques.
Actuellement Directeur de recherche au laboratoire ISTerre (USMB), François Nicot est spécialisé dans le domaine de la géomécanique, et en particulier dans le champ des risques naturels gravitaires. Il a exercé pendant plus de 20 ans au sein de l’INRAE avant de rejoindre l’USMB. Il est également directeur scientifique du projet national C2ROP, dédié aux chutes de blocs, et éditeur–en-chef de la revue European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering.
