About...

Pauline holds an MSc and Engineering degree from the Nancy School of Geology (ENSG, 2000). In 2003, she defended her PhD in Nancy on reactive fluid transport applied to the water quality after the flooding of iron mines in Lorraine, which received a Regional prize. She has then teached hydrogeology, GIS and geosciences 2 years in Strasbourg (ENGEES) and 2 years in the University of Reims (URCA) before joining the RING team in September 2007. She got her HDR in Geosciences in 2016. As a Professor of the University of Lorraine and GeoRessources laboratory, she teaches Geomodeling, Hydro(geo)logy, C++ Programming, GIS and (Geo)Statistics at the Nancy School of Geology (ENSG).

Her work is dedicated to the development of novel methodologies for the modelling of reservoirs characterized by a complex geometry, like flooded mines, karstic networks or channelized systems. Whatever the studied object, the concern is to find new solutions allowing to reproduce one or several natural processes (e.g., hydrochemistry in flooded mines) or geometries (karstic networks, channels) by combining field/laboratory data and theoretical concepts. The aim is not to find the exact theoretical solution but to find solutionS that account for the observed reality, its complexity and the associated uncertainties. Her research activities are thus at a crossroads between numerical geology, geomodelling, hydrogeology and hydrochemistry, geostatistics.
