Mrs Caroline SCOTTI

research engineer, National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment

I am a population geneticist of forest trees. After a thesis on speciation in European white oaks (1999-2003), I joined INRAE in 2005. I worked for 10 years in French Guiana to study the evolutionary history of the Amazonian forest.  Since 2014, I work in Avignon where I study the evolutionary history of the Mediterranean forest and its adaptation in a context of global change. I am Deputy Coordinator of IUFRO ((International Union of Forest Research Organizations) ) Division 2.02.13 - Breeding and genetic resources of Mediterranean conifers.  I am the scientist in charge of the French genetic resources of the sorbus domestica at the CRGF. I am coordinator of a project to study the resilience of old-growth forests in France in the region of Occitanie (OcciGen project 2021-2025).
