In brief...
The Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans is a research laboratory in Earth Science dedicated to the external envelops of the Earth from the upper mantle to the atmosphere. Our studies focus on the heat and mass transfers at the interface between the mantle and the crust as well as between the crust and the atmosphere. Application domains of our research activities include the mineral, energy and water primary resources, the volcanic hazards, and the environmental impacts of anthropic activities.

Projets Européens ELECTROLITH
Melting in the Earth’s mantle is a fundamental process in the deep volatile cycles because it produces liquids that concentrate and redistribute volatile species. Such redistribution can trigger…
NewOreS
Development of New models for the genesis of Rare Metal (W, Nb, Ta, Li) Ore deposits from the European Variscan Belt and valorization of low grade and fine grained ore and mine tailings.
Programmes Investissements d'Avenir Laboratoire d’Excellence VOLTAIRE
L’objectif du projet VOLTAIRE est de s’intéresser au continuum allant de géosystèmes profonds et fermés à des géosystèmes superficiels et ouverts, continuum au sein desquels circulent les fluides naturels.
Projet Région VINODRONE
Le vignoble est l’un des éléments emblématiques du patrimoine de la Région Centre-Val de Loire. Aujourd’hui, il est confronté à des préoccupations sanitaires grandissantes sur l’échelle régionale et nationale. Les pathologies de la vigne génèrent de sérieux problèmes…
Programmes Investissements d'Avenir Equipement d’Excellence PLANEX
Le projet PLANEX a pour objectif la mise en place d’une plateforme de caractérisation chimique et structurale de matériaux de composition complexe dans des environnements sévères (haute pression et haute température).
