In the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure on soil and groundwater, the second issue of "R*, BRGM's Research Newsletter" looks at how geoscientific research can help us gain a better understanding of these phenomena and develop relevant remediation processes.
BRGM's research aims at achieving a sustainable model for managing local environments
Through its expertise in the fields of observation, analysis, modelling, and remediation – as well as its continuous monitoring of scientific developments and breakthroughs – BRGM provides public authorities, companies and community-support organisations with tools to manage and control the environmental impact of human activities more effectively.
