GeoRessources specialises in earth sciences: exploration, exploitation, use of geological resources and impacts on society and the environment. This multidisciplinary laboratory is also interested in human use and management of the soil and subsoil, which clearly positions it as a specialist in environmental risk.
The UMR 7359 GeoRessources laboratory brings together most of Nancy’s applied geology staff from CNU sections 35, 36 and 60 and CNRS sections 18 and 30. GeoRessources is a laboratory of the University of Lorraine, INSU CNRS and CREGU, with a secondary attachment to INSIS CNRS. The number of permanent staff is over 100 (44 ITA/IATOS, 60 CE/C), and the total staff is close to 180. GeoRessources is divided into three research areas (Geomodels, Raw Materials and GeoSystems). The GeoModels area includes two thematic teams, Integrative Digital Geology and Multi-scale Hydrogeomechanics. The Raw Materials area consists of three thematic teams working on Carbon Resources, Mineral Resources and Resource and Residue Recovery. Finally, the GeoSystems area, relating to the human use of geological environments, is divided into two thematic teams: Geological Storage and Geothermics; and Geomaterials, Structures and Risks. GeoRessources is a member of the OTELo OSU, the ICEEL Carnot Institute, Labex Ressources21 and the GéoDénergies IEED. Its teaching staff consists of 20 teacher-researchers from ENSG, 10 from Mines Nancy, 17 from the Geoscience Department and three attached to three other courses.
