The pools of expertise correspond to the different scientific fields of the 175 members of the lab, researchers/academics, engineers and technicians, and fixed-term contract. They describe the disciplinary competences implemented in our interdisciplinary research.

They thus make visible the different prisms through which we approach our research, be it thematic, methodological or their integration.

3 areas of expertise

Earth Observation Science

Expertise in remote sensing, signal processing, geomatics, environmental geography and GIS, oceanography and climatology.

This area involves approximately 26 researchers/teacher-researchers, 15 engineers and technicians and 40 fixed-term contracts spread over all the unit’s locations.

 

Science of socio-ecosystems and their territories

Expertise mainly in the geography of coastal, island, tourism and health territories, but also in anthropology, environmental law and botany.

This involves approximately 26 researchers/academics, 4 engineers and technicians and 30 fixed-term contracts on all the unit’s sites.

 

Data and Modeling Sciences

Expertise in applied mathematics, computer science and knowledge engineering: AI, multi-scale statistical analysis, systems theory, cellular automata, constrained modelling and distributed algorithmics, big data analysis and ontology.

This area involves about 12 researchers/academics; 4 engineers and technicians and 10 fixed-term contracts in the South of France and Guyana sites.
