Ecosystem and Territorial Resilience: A Geoprospective Approach

Dr. Emmanuel Garbolino has a PhD in Geography as well as an HDR accreditation to supervise research in Geography, bothof which he earned from the University of Nice, France. He also has a Master of Ecology and Paleoecology degree fromthe University of Aix-Marseille, France. After completing his PhD, for which he also worked at the Joint Research Centre(JRC) of the European Commission in Ispra (Italy), Dr. Garbolino spent 17 years in the field of public research at the Riskand Crisis Research Centre at MINES ParisTech. He is currently the Director of Climpact Data Science (CDS), a companythat provides services to support decision makers in adapting their strategies, activities, and territorial management inthe context of global climate and land use changes.

Christine Voiron-Canicio is a professor of geography at Universite ́ Côte d’Azur, France. She is a recipient of bronze medalfrom the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and is a co-founder of the Geoprospective researchgroup and a co-head of the Territorial Resilience Strategy training for sustainable city stakeholders, in collaboration withSustainable Cities France. She led the ESPACE lab in France from 2008 to 2017. She specializes in spatial analysis appliedto sustainability issues, including: urban risks, slow evolutions and sudden phenomena, vulnerabilities, and resilience.She couples scientific skills in modeling and spatial simulations with geoprospective approaches, aimed at anticipatingthe spatial impacts of future changes. She is currently involved in research into diagnosing and improving the adaptivecapacity of regions and cities.
