Our scientific themes

We are carrying out multidisciplinary research to understand the inner Earth, its continental surfaces and interfaces, and its environment. Our scientific goals aim to improve knowledge on (i) the Earth Evolution and Dynamics, (ii) space-based and in situ Earth Observation, (iii) the Critical Zone and fluid-rock-living Interactions, and (iv) Georesources and contaminants-environment-health Interactions.

Our technical departments

GET has 25 analytical and instrumental services and platforms grouped into 3 technical departments (Geochemistry and Experimentation, Geophysics and Positioning, Petrology and Mineralogy) and 2 transversal services.
