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 the Earth Evolution and Dynamics, the modern and past Environments & Climates, the Environment-Society Interactions, and development and provision of Observations, Data & Models for Geological and Environmental Sciences.

One of GET’s strengths is its ability to implement a multidisciplinary approach involving numerous disciplines in Earth and Environmental Sciences (geology, geochemistry, geophysics, geodesy, hydrology, pedology), supplemented by geography and sociology approaches. Our research conducted through 7 research teams utilizes complementary skills in spatial and in situ observation, numerical and analog modeling, and laboratory experimentation.

Our technical poles

GET is equipped with a significant analytical and instrumental infrastructure distributed among 25 services and platforms grouped into 3 technical poles (Geochemistry and Experimentation, Geophysics and Positioning, Petrology and Mineralogy) and cross-cutting services supporting the research activities conducted by the unit.
