Research teams

CG
The Geotechnical Centrifuge Laboratory (CG) studies geotechnical structures using small centrifugal models.
Management: Matthieu BLANC, Luc THOREL (deputy)

EE
The Water and Environment Laboratory (EE) studies the sustainable development of anthropized areas in order to control their impact and limit their vulnerability with regard to the water cycle.
Management: Pierre-Emmanuel PEYNEAU, Olivier PAYRASTRE (deputy)

GIE
The Geomaterials and Environmental Interactions Laboratory (GIE) studies the use and reuse of geomaterials and their interaction with the atmosphere and the environment.
Management: Dimitri DENEELE, Andry RAZAKAMANANTSOA (deputy)

GeoEND
The Geophysics and Non-Destructive Evaluation Laboratory (GeoEND) develops methods for geophysical subsurface inspection in relation to man-made structures and non-destructive evaluation and control methods applied to civil engineering infrastructure.
Management: Xavier DEROBERT, Sergio PALMA-LOPES

RRO
The Rocky Risk and Geotechnical Structures Laboratory (RRO) conducts research and provides expertise in two areas: the behavior and design of geotechnical structures, and the monitoring and diagnosis of geotechnical structures and sites, particularly in mountainous areas.
Management: Patrick JOFFRIN, Anne-Sophie COLAS (deputy)

SRO
The Soils, Rocks, and Geotechnical Structures Laboratory (SRO) studies seismic hazards and earthquake-induced risks, sustainability and innovative geomaterials, geotechnical engineering, and eco-design.
Management: Philippe REIFFSTECK, Céline BOURDEAU (deputy), Fabien SZYMKIEWICZ (deputy)

GéoCoD
The Cerema Geomaterials and Geomechanics: couplings and dynamics for geotechnical structures and risks (GéoCoD) team seeks to address the dual challenge of understanding, preventing, and managing gravitational risks such as ground movements in relation to climate change adaptation and the management, optimization, modernization, and design of infrastructure and structures.
Management: Marie-Aurélie CHANUT, Nathalie DUFOUR (deputy)

TEAM
The Cerema's Team for Water Transfers and Interactions in Built Environments (TEAM) focuses its research on studying the physical environment of built environments: multi-scale hydrological functioning of built environments; transfer of pollutants within the water/soil/vegetation complex and wastewater and stormwater treatment facilities, and climate regulation in urban environments.
Management: Bernard DE GOUVELLO, Ivana DURICKOVIC (deputy)
