Her main focus is on floods and droughts and the environmental impacts of ski resorts. She received her M.S. in physical geography from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, her Ph.D. on sediment and riverbed dynamics in the Rockies and Alps from FU Berlin, Germany, and her Habilitation in geography on water balance, droughts, and floods in the High Atlas and Alps from the University of Bonn, Germany. Previously, she was a professor of mountain science at the Mountain Center of the University of Savoie and a postdoctoral researcher at ETH and WSL in Zurich, Switzerland, and at the University of Bonn, Germany.
