Simon Daout is an Associate Professor at the CRPG (Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques) within Université de Lorraine, France. He specializes in measuring and modeling ground deformations associated with active faults and surface processes using space geodesy (InSAR, image correlation, GNSS) and numerical approaches.
- PhD, ISTerre, Université Grenoble-Alpes (2016)
- Master, Université Grenoble-Alpes (2013)
- Bachelor, Université de Nantes (2011)
His research focuses on:
- Permafrost degradation on the Tibetan Plateau, quantified through InSAR to study climate change impacts.
- Landslide dynamics in Nepal using radar and optical image correlation to link slope instabilities to external forcings (rainfall, seismicity).
- Aseismic deformation contributions to tectonic uplift, integrating geodesy and numerical modeling.
His publications (2016–2024) emphasize InSAR/image correlation for geohazard monitoring, tectonic kinematics, and permafrost/landslide dynamics. Tools like Flower2d and ASP-SAR are freely available on GitHub.
He has advised doctoral students Hugo Watine (CRPG) and Léo Letellier (CRPG), and supervised Master’s student Florian Leder. Key grants include OTELO, INSU-PNTS, CNES doctoral funding, and ANR Franco-Luxembourg projects.
Labs/teams: CRPG (UMR 7358 CNRS-UL), ISTerre, Oxford Earth Sciences, Kiel University.
