Main fields of research and expertise
Laurie BOITHIAS got her PhD in 2012 from the University of Toulouse, France. After three post-docs in Spain and France, she got an associate professor position at GET in Toulouse in 2017, within the M-TROPICS CZO. Her research is about catchment-scale hydrology, erosion processes, and fate and transport of contaminants such as pathogens, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. The overall aim of her research is to contribute to the interdisciplinary understanding of the biogeochemical functioning of hydrological systems and to ecosystem services assessment. Her approach is triple: field measurement, experimental studies and catchment-scale modelling.
