Short description of research profile

The LGO is a multi-approach geoscience laboratory covering geophysics, geochemistry, tectonics, sedimentology and paleontology. Our research involves observing, measuring and modeling processes. We carry out methodological and instrumental developments applied to the exploration of the oceans, from telluric coats to the superficial envelopes of coastal and offshore areas.

The research is centered around the study of the genesis and evolution of oceanic domains, and the multidisciplinary approach of exchanges and coupling to interfaces, from the surface of the Earth to the asthenosphere.

This work is organized around four thematic teams studying geodynamic processes in the marine domain, characterized by different scales of observation and time scales.
