Team members


Philippe ROUX, ISTerre

Scientific coordinator, Research Director CNRS As one of M. FINK’s former student (from 1994 to 1997), and then as one of his team member when recruited as a Research Associate at CNRS (from 1998 to 2001), Philippe ROUX was educated in sciences with an interdisciplinary approach for wave propagation in complex media where small scale and large scale experiments always merge together at some point.
Philippe ROUX is an experimentalist with a strong background in ultrasonics, underwater (…)

Florent GIMBERT, IGE

Scientific coordinator of RESOLVE-Argentière, Research scientist CNRS Florent Gimbert is interested in the mechanics of various Earth’s surface processes associated with ice, rock and water dynamics. He develops innovative observational and theoretical frameworks that allow making use of geophysical (mainly seismic) methods to infer key physical properties related to Glacier flow (basal sliding, internal ice deformation), open and confined channel flows (rivers, subglacial channels and (…)

Fabian WALTER, SNSF

Research partner, SNSF Assistant Professor After his university education in physics, Fabian Walter turned to glaciology and seismology during his PhD work at ETH Zürich (2005-2009). Until the present day, Fabian Walter’s research has focused on seismic applications in glaciology and natural hazards.
Fabian Walter combines field studies with seismic source theory to study sliding processes and near-surface hydraulics in the context of glacier dynamics and Alpine mass movements. After (…)

Stéphane GARAMBOIS, ISTerre

Scientific coordinator of RESOLVE-Séchilienne, Professor in geophysics at University Grenoble Alpes
His research focuses on multi-method geophysical characterization of various natural hazards, such as gravitational instabilities (landslides and rockfall), active faults, seismic site effects and glacial hazards. He is also interested in the multiphasic character of geological formations, by considering fluid’s effect in wave propagation imaging : passive and active seismic, (…)

Fabian LINDNER, ETH Zürich - VAW

After his university education in geophysics, Fabian started to work on a PhD project with Fabian Walter at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on glacial seismology where he applies seismic methods to field recordings in order to study glaciologically relevant processes.
For his Master’s thesis at the University of Munich, Fabian analyzed rotational ground motions induced by the ambient noise field and by ocean currents. After its completion in 2015, he shifted his focus towards glaciers. He (…)
