Description du poste

After a preliminary phase to learn how to use the available tools, the objective of the post-doctoral work is to test the relevance and evaluate the contribution of these new methods on two real cases, taken from BRGM's activities:
- in hydrogeological modeling (interpolation of large number of piezometries and modeling of a pollutant plume)
- in geological modeling (interpolation of geological interfaces with inequality constraints and simulations / interpolations of a complex geological model)
Short articles, possibly submitted for scientific communications, will summarize the work carried out on each of these two case studies along with the main results.

The post-doctoral fellow will use the R-Geostat library developed by the Center for Geoscience from Mines Paristech. A training period at Fontainebleau is planned at the beginning of the contract period. The first case (hydrogeological modeling) lends itself well to a direct application of the available tools while the second (geological modeling) may require some adaptations of the available algorithms.

The work will take place at the BRGM in Orléans in close collaboration between the Géoresources, Risks and Prevention, and Eau Environnement departments, as well as with the ISTO (Institute of Earth Sciences of Orléans). It will also include exchanges with the Paristech Mines Geoscience Center in Fontainebleau.
