Climate warning for archaeological sites
From the Chauvet cave to the Ile d’Yeu, prehistoric sites are under close surveillance. The hope: to understand how climate change threatens them. And prevent the disappearance of cave paintings. […]
Géosciences Environnement Toulouse (GET) mobilizes a wide range of skills and expertise to advance knowledge in Earth and environmental sciences within the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (OSU OMP).
One of GET’s major strengths lies in its ability to deploy a resolutely multidisciplinary approach, integrating a wide range of Earth and environmental science fields – geology, geochemistry, geophysics, geodesy, hydrology, pedology – enriched by perspectives from geography and sociology 7 complementary research teams utilizes complementary skills in spatial and in situ observation, numerical and analog modeling, and laboratory experimentation.
GET relies on a foundation of complementary expertise in space and in situ observation, digital and analog modeling, and laboratory experimentation. These skills are reinforced by a first-rate analytical and instrumental park, structured into 25 services and platforms, organized into three technical hubs, as well as cross-disciplinary services that support all the unit’s research activities.
