Since the creation of the team in 1982 by the founders of the institute, its researchers have been interested not only in the practices of space transformation but also in the doctrines, paradigms, ideas and theories on which they are based. This orientation has led us to build tools for observation, analysis and evaluation, but also to examine theories, discourses and representations.

LETG-Brest’s research activities bring together several fields of geography: physical geography, human and social geography, remote sensing and geomatics, in order to study human-nature interactions in coastal and maritime environments.
