> Centre for Geological Computer Sciences (CIG)
The Geological Computer Science Centre focuses its activities on studying the transfer of fluids and matter in the ground as well as at the soil and sub-soil interface. It combines a naturalist approach, based on effective analytical methods, with sophisticated mathematical and digital techniques based on extensive computation resources. It devises quantification tools applicable to solving practical problems concerning more particularly the movement of sub-soil fluids and the environmental consequences.
The Centres research activities concentrate on three main themes covering a wide range of environmental problems linked to the continental part of the water cycle :
Modelling of hydrogeological and hydrological systems; Description and modelling of solute transfer and fluid-rock interactions in the underground mediumdescribing the environments studied (fluids, rocks, ecosystems) and developing analytical methods; Study of lacustrian, river and estuary ecosystems.
