I've joined @cnrs as a GIS Engineer at CEREGE (Environmental geosciences research and teaching centre) in Aix-en-Provence, France where I'll be working on remote sensing, but with a focus on very high-resolution acquisition (by photogrammetry and LiDAR) So back in the field !
Very interested too in #OpenData, #OpenStreetMap and #PublicHealth Research since a previous job at @ird_fr
