Student in Geology at the University of Grenoble, France, from Oct 1955 to June 1958

Member of the Department of Geology of this University from Oct. 1958 to June 1998.

One of the courses I gave concerned the use of the thermodynamic tool in geology.

I received a first PhD in 1962, and a second in 1976.  I am retired since 1998.

All my papers published before 1998 were devoted to geology and written in French.

All my papers published after 1998 were devoted to a possible link between thermodynamics and relativity and written in English.  They can be found on the Internet with the keywords Thermodynamics Relativity Link.

Some of them are mentioned in the chapter references of the present book.

Other activities:  

I am Vice-President of the European Association for the Development of the Railway Transport whose seat is in Grenoble, France  http://www.aedtf.org

I have a particular interest for the creation of a railway line between Briançon (France) and Bardonecchia (Italy). I am a former mayor of the village of Nevache, which is located between both towns and of which my family originates.

Concerning this area, I am author of two books, written in French, dealing respectively with geology and with the railway project. They are titled:
