Georessources-CNRS/Lorraine Univ. (location : Fac de Sciences, Nancy)

GeoRessources is a multidisciplinary laboratory devoted to the field of geological resources - their exploration and exploitation, including recovery, treatment and recycling stages as well as their impact on society and the environment. The research conducted at GeoRessources benefits from most innovative experimental and analytical equipment dedicated to liquid-gas-rock interactions. On purpose developed systems allow in-situ analysis during reaction and comparison with micro-analysis of natural samples leading to reaction models used to investigate the geological environment.
