Research: discovering the elements of matter
The discovery of the constituent elements of minerals involved in the process of rock formation is inseparable from laboratory research.
Innovation: PRIME, a ground-breaking testing laboratory
The French geological survey inaugurates the multi-metric test prototype for the PRIME research platform in its scientific centre. The installation will complete a particularly advanced environmental instrumentation facility.
Experimentation with world-class instruments
Laboratories are an essential part of BRGM's activity and expertise. BRGM has a world-class array of instruments at its disposal that is constantly improving our understanding of the subsurface. These enable analysis of the physical and chemical properties of rocks, the study of their atomic structure, comparison of samples and observation of the transport and transformation of elements: BRGM has a world-class array of instruments that enable us to improve our understanding of the subsoil.
