Manon is a lecturer at the University of Tasmania Faculty of Law interested in the transferability of lessons from the governance of weather modification techniques to the governance of solar radiation management. She graduated with a Bachelor’s in Public and International Law from the University of Poitiers, before pursuing a LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law at the University of Oregon, USA. She started her PhD in 2017 at the Research Institute of Environmental Law in China, working on international regulations of weather modification activities. In 2019, she transferred to the University of Tasmania where she completed her PhD “Governing Cloud Seeding in Australia and the United States: Lessons for Regional Solar Regional Solar Radiation Management." She examined the extent to which existing cloud seeding laws can inform the development of legal arrangements to govern regional solar radiation management techniques. Her reputation in the governance of weather modification technologies prompted an invitation from Ehime University to collaborate on a project on the feasibility of managing extreme weather events (Japan). Manon is now working as a post-doctoral research fellow on the ARC Discovery Project, “Governing Solar Radiation Management Research, Development and Deployment” with the Australian Forum for Climate Intervention Governance (AFCIG). Manon is also president of Hobart Accueil.
