Presenting BRGM


> 3

Our raison d’être is to

> understand geological phenomena

> develop new methodologies and techniques

> produce and disseminate pertinent, high-quality data

in order to provide public authorities with …


> 4

…the necessary tools for

> surface, subsurface and natural-resource management

> natural-risk and pollution prevention

> regional planning and development


> 5

An approach defined in the context of

> sustainable development

> globalisation

> social demands: scientific ethics, safety, prevention and precaution

> new information and communication technologies (NICT)
