Our research theme is dedicated to enhancing our understanding of geosystem dynamics, with the goal of advancing our knowledge and improving the management of natural resources and environmental impacts resulting from human activities. The diverse scientific challenges undertaken by the GEODE team offer a multi-scale perspective, spanning both space and time. We explore the intricate mechanisms operating at the mineral level, investigate crustal and lithospheric processes, and delve into phenomena that range from the rapid (measured in seconds, days, or years) to the gradual (spanning thousands to millions of years).

Our research primarily focuses on the study of deformation and the intricate processes of chemical exchange, material transfer, and heat exchange. We closely examine the interfaces between rocks, fluids, and the biosphere in both deep (endogenous) and surface (exogenous and critical zone) systems
