Description du poste

You will be under the Geo-resources department of the BRGM, and will have potential interactions with the Risks and Prevention department.

The main role of the Geo-resources department within the BRGM is to deepen geoscientific understanding and render it useful for the needs of society, notably through: collecting and developing new data; developing innovative methods and techniques, in particular cross-discipline approaches and computerised models; designing and understanding geological events, and their evolution over time; creation of cross-discipline summaries and assessments for use in the socio-economic world.

With this goal, the Geo-resources department has conducted several high-resolution airborne topographic studies. Airborne (temporary) electromagnetism (EM) was utilised for the first time, as a test, in 2009 in the Central Loire Valley region, then in an operational setting by covering the islands of Mayotte, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion and numerous areas in New Caledonia. Recently the north of the Chaîne des Puys was part of a high resolution airborne topographic study and other projects will be launched soon. Since their acquisition, the BRGM is proving its value through regional or national level projects as well as industrial or research studies, across a variety of subjects, including hydrogeology, material or mining prospecting, as well as natural hazards.
