As part of the ERC ADG PLANETAFELSIC project (2025–2030), scientists from CNRS Terre & Univers (the GET and IRAP laboratories) have shed light on the rate at which magmas of […]
The increase in runoff in the central Sahel since the onset of the drought that affected all of West Africa between 1970 and 1995 is a well-known phenomenon, but an […]
The history of seabird population sizes prior to the Anthropocene (the modern era) remains largely unknown. This gap limits our understanding of current phenomena and our ability to predict the […]

Iron isotopes in pyrite are frequently used to better understand environmental conditions throughout our planet’s history, going back to sedimentary archives dating back billions of years. A team of researchers […]
This study explains the heat transfer between a magma reservoir and the surrounding rock in the high-enthalpy geothermal exploration area of Krafla, Iceland. Thermomechanical numerical models explain the sudden jump […]
What forms does life take on Earth? This is the question asked by scientists from the University of Toulouse and the CNRS, who are exploring the morphological limits of life […]
As part of the MACIV project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), a team of scientists deployed the largest mobile seismological network ever installed by a university team […]
