Nicolas Le Corvec · Geoscientist and data scientist
Observe the Earth.
Understand change.
From volcano mechanics to satellite observations, I connect physical processes, data and the questions people ask about their territories.
Start with physical processes
My scientific work began with volcanoes: deformation, fractures, magma pathways and the evolution of volcanic systems. International research brought together observations, experiments and numerical models.
Bring observations together
Satellite images open that approach to other changing landscapes. Radar, optical imagery, geology and climate provide different views of water, ground motion and natural hazards, including drought and clay shrink–swell. Their value comes from comparing them in space and time.
Turn research into useful tools
With fiñv, I develop documented studies, prototypes and geospatial analysis workflows. Three years as a geotechnical expert investigating drought-related clay shrink–swell damage grounded that approach in field realities. This experience informs method development and the transfer of knowledge.
Keep conclusions explainable
An analysis should make clear what is measured, what is interpreted and what remains uncertain. That is the thread connecting the research, the images and the tools.
