During my scientific career, I have worked in various fields of forest and animal ecology, in arid and semi-arid systems around the world, and in mountain communities. I have recently focused his activities in the Pyrenees, leading projects related to the effects that global change may have on the alpine community, in relation to its distribution, the interactions between the various species, and how the human presence changes them.Finally, I lead various citizen science projects, and participates in the development of various tools that are related to it. I have been part of the Scientific Committee of the Pyrenean Observatory of Climate Change (OPCC, Biodiversity Action) until 2014, and of the European Mountain Research Advocacy Network of the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) until 2016. I am currently part of the Advisory Board of the Pyrenean Observatory of Climate Change (OPCC), I am CREAF representative in Euromontana, and the coordinator of the Network for European Mountain Research (NEMOR).
