Antoine Rabatel

I am a glaciologist with several research areas including mountain glaciers processes, long term changes in relation with climate and related impacts on water resources, hydrological functioning of glacierized catchments and on biodiversity on recently deglaciated areas.

My work is mainly based on field-based and remote sensing measurements of glacier surface processes (mass and energy balances, ice flow velocities, surface area and elevation changes) through the French Service National d’Observation GLACIOCLIM. GLACIOCLIM aims at documenting glacier evolution in different climate regions worldwide, from the high latitudes (Antarctica) to the mid-latitudes (French Alps and Pyrenees) going through the low latitudes in the tropical Andes and Himalayas. I am coordinating the GLACIOCLIM activities within the tropical Andes with local partners in Bolivia and Ecuador.
