Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg - UMR 7516 CNRS
The Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg (UMR 7516 CNRS / Université de Strasbourg) is an Earth Science laboratory, where research is focused around numerous themes in geophysics and geology.
Four teams
- Dynamique globale
Responsable : Jean-Paul Boy
This research team works on global dynamics, the internal structure of Earth and other planets, spatial and time-related potential field variations.
- Déformation active
Responsable : Cécile Doubre
This research team works on lithosphere deformation, seismic fault mechanisms, and subsurface deformation.
- Géologie océans lithosphère sédiments - GéOLS
Responsable : Gianreto Manatschal
This research team aims to study the interactions between the deep Earth and the processes active at the surface, linking tectonics (deformation, isostasy, exhumation…) and surface processes (erosion/sedimentation, climate forcing).
- Géophysique expérimentale
Responsable : Renaud Toussain
This research team focuses on multi-scale imagery of geological structures, monitoring of fluid motion, formation and deformation of geological structures in reservoirs, and rheology of faults.
- Sismologie
Responsable : Luis Rivera
This research team studies natural seismic sources and their resulting waves. It undertakes many methodological developments in both fundamental and applied research, allowing new insights to be obtained regarding various objects of study.
Resources
Human resources
The laboratory, UMR 7516, currently regroups 127 people, including 55 researchers and faculty staff, 20 engineers, technicians and administrative staff, and 52 PhD students and postdocs.
Technical facilities
A part of the research lead in the UMR7516 is linked to the activities of the observatories in geophysics at EOST (seismology, magnetism, gravimetry and geodesy) and the scientific services (RéNaSS, BCSF, RLBM), that allow to lead an efficient coupling between observation and research.
