Applications / Expertises
Expertise 1: Hydrology and analytical geochemistry of groundwater:
Personnel involved: Marie-Joëlle OLIVIER, Michel Franscechi, Grégory Cohen
All the techniques available in the laboratory are used to characterise mass transport parameters in various geological environments (fluid circulation, water/solid interaction, water chemistry). The laboratory also has a unit specialising in soil decontamination.
Expertise 2: Structural and physico-chemical characterisation, soil and subsoil geophysics :
Personnel involved : Léa PIGOT & Serge GALAUP
All the tools available on the platform cover different scales (from the nanometre to the kilometre) in order to obtain comprehensive physical and chemical information about the soil.
