Montpellier Geosciences (GM)
Géosciences Montpellier is a multidisciplinary research unit that draws on a wide range of professions and expertise to develop new knowledge about geodynamics, the environment, and georesources. Its activities are divided into six thematic areas:
- Deformation: deformation processes and effects of deformation on Earth dynamics, at all temporal and spatial scales;
- Transfers and couplings: controls of physical and chemical couplings between the Earth's different envelopes on its structure, composition, and evolution;
- Primitive Earth: relationships between the evolution of Earth's dynamics, particularly the initiation of plate tectonics, and its habitability;
- Hazards: processes and systems that generate geological hazards: earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, surface instability, erosion, and coastal flooding;
- Hydrosystems: role of water in the dynamics and processes of surface and subsurface hydrosystems;
- Resources: Mineral, fluid, and energy resources, for rational use in the context of the energy transition and the fight against global warming.
