This means my research interest is to imagine what former landscapes looked like, and what were doing human beings there. The themes I develop the most are climatic impact on vegetation, and agro-pastoral activities. To do so, I am specialised in the identification of fossil pollen grains, spores, and fungal remains \u2013 among others \u2013 preserved through times in lakes and wetlands. But I am also curious \u2013 and able \u2013 about parallel sciences, like fire regimes, for example. My research so far led me to study European middle and high altitude areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of the data is an important deal to me. I like to explore them using statistical tools and aesthetic visualisations. I pay as much attention to the look than to the matter. I like to optimise my workflow. I have developed tons of scripts that make me save a lot of time. Finally, I can concentrate more on questions that really matter. I also have a lot of fun with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/index.php\/jolikeyboard\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/index.php\/jolikeyboard\/\">hardware<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lecture in palaeo-environments, palaeo-palynology, and statistics to Master students in Environmental Science and in Archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m enthusiast. I love dancing and singing, but you probably wouldn&#8217;t like to hear it. I love lemon-pie, too. And chocolate. And crisps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/CV-Benjamin-Dietre.pdf\">download my CV<\/a> and find out what kept me busy recently at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benscoat.eu\/\">my blog<\/a>.
