Originally from the Ardennes, Pascal Goderniaux chose to study at Liège because of the reputation of its course in civil engineering and geology. This subject that seemed to best satisfy his passion for environmental issues. Graduating in Civil Engineering and Geology in 2005, he obtained a postgraduate diploma in Applied Science in 2007. In 2005-2006, he took part in the Synclin’Eau project, which aimed to provide technical support for the implementation of a European directive on groundwater masses.

An FNRS research fellow in the Hydrogeology and Geology of the Environment team at ULg (ArGEnCo department) since 2006, he is currently working on his doctoral thesis, the subject of which is “The impact of climate change on groundwater reserves – refill quantification methods”, under the direction of Alain Dassargues and Serge Brouyère.
