Montpellier Geosciences (GM)
Géosciences Montpellier is a multidisciplinary research unit that draws on a wide range of fields and areas of expertise to advance knowledge in geodynamics, the environment, and georesources. Its work is organized into six thematic areas:
- Deformation: deformation processes and the effects of deformation on Earth dynamics, across all temporal and spatial scales;
- Transfers and couplings: studies of the physical and chemical couplings between the Earth’s various layers in terms of its structure, composition, and evolution;
- Early Earth: the relationship between the evolution of Earth’s dynamics—particularly the onset of plate tectonics—and its habitability;
- Hazards: processes and systems that generate geological hazards: earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, surface instability, erosion, and coastal flooding;
- Hydrosystems: the role of water in the dynamics and processes of surface and subsurface hydrosystems;
- Resources: Mineral, fluid, and energy resources, for responsible use in the context of the energy transition and the fight against global warming.
