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 RHEOLITH
A better comprehension of the rheology of the lithosphere is required to relate long and short term deformation regimes and describe the succession of events that lead to earthquake generation. But our vision of the rheology is blurred…
Projet ANR InterVol
Interprétation quantitative des interactions magma-roches sédimentaires par approche expérimentale : implications sur les émissions volcaniques de volatils et la formation de gisements miniers.
OROGEN
Étude des mécanismes et process de mise en place et développement d’une chaine de collision – application aux Pyrénées.
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.
