CNRS. Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

General description

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique is a government-funded research organization. Two research units will participate: IPGS (Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg) & LIVE (Laboratoire Image, Ville, Environnement). The IPGS research unit comprises ca. 80 researchers with a panel of competences in earth sciences. The team has acquired international experience in seismic & landslide hazard assessments, and geophysics. The LIVE research unit comprises ca. 30 researchers with an expertise in human geography, natural and technological hazards, risk analysis, and geo-informatics.

Key competences and facilities

Applied geology. Earth Observation & GIS. Quantitative hazard & risk assessment methods. Human geography. Organization of EU training schools on natural hazards. Web-GIS. CNRS has extensive field laboratory in the Barcelonette area, and very good connection with local stakeholders.

Key persons

Dr. Jean-Philippe Malet
Dr. Alexandre Remaître

Previous training programs and research

CNRS has been involved in many related projects dealing with research and training, together with many of the other partners in the network, such as FP6 MCRTN “Mountain Risk”; FP7 SAFELAND, FP6 RAMSOIL, FP5 RETINA, FP5 ALARM, Interreg ALCOTRA, Intereg AlpineSpace QuakeNet. International training programmes: ERASMUS Programme in Geomorphology, CoE-FORMOSE 2004, 2006, 2008, Mountain Risks
