About
Pascal BARRIER is an Associate Professor in Geosciences at Campus de Beauvais, affiliated with the B2R research unit. His expertise spans both applied geology and geoarchaeology, with a focus on sedimentary basins, petroleum reservoirs, and archaeological site analysis across France, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. He holds a PhD and HDR in Earth Sciences and collaborates with institutions like the University of Delft and University of Catania. His research integrates field studies with laboratory analysis, addressing topics ranging from carbonate diagenesis in Oman to Pleistocene coastal dynamics in Calabria.
Education: PhD and HDR in Earth Sciences (dates unspecified). His work bridges academia and industry, with specializations in:
- Paleoecology and reservoir geometry
- Tectono-sedimentary processes in transform margins
- Geoarchaeological material provenance studies
Recent studies analyze plastic transport in Mediterranean watersheds and Pleistocene vertebrate sites like the Grotte du Lazaret. He leads modules in the Geosciences engineering program and advises on geological heritage conservation. Collaborative projects include sedimentological mapping of the Miocene Peloritani Mountains and tectonic studies of the Arabian Plate margin.
