Aurélie Verney-Carron
EAG Councillor
Aurélie Verney-Carron is Professor at Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), where she teaches geology and conducts research at Laboratoire Interuniversitaire des Systèmes Atmosphériques (LISA). She obtained a PhD in geosciences in 2008 on the study of Roman archaeological glass to better understand the long-term alteration of nuclear waste storage glass. She was then a postdoctoral researcher at the CRPG at Nancy, working on Li isotopes as tracers of silicate weathering. She was then recruited in 2010 at UPEC.
Her research focuses on the application of geochemical methods (characterisation, laboratory experiments, isotope tracers, models, etc.) to heritage objects (stained glass windows, limestone) in order not only to understand their weathering mechanisms and determine the associated kinetics with a view to better preserving them, but also to use them as archives of ancient environmental conditions, especially air pollution.
