• Sylvain BOULEY
  Sylvain Bouley is a lecturer at Paris Sud University where he teaches planetary and earth sciences. He devotes himself mainly to the study of planetary surfaces (in particular Mars) for which he seeks to decipher and understand the geological history. For this purpose, he studies the current impact rate in the Earth-Moon system by investigations on meteorite falls (on the Moon and Earth). He is co-Investigator for the national FRIPON and Vigie Ciel programs, which aim to monitor the fall of meteorites in France and to share this science with the general public. Involved in the dissemination of knowledge for many years, he is the author of four books for the general public. He is the president of the association “The little pickers of stars” whose mission is to introduce the world of stars and space to hospitalized children. As vice-president of the Uranoscope Association of France, he also works on the development of astronomy in developing countries.
