ALARIC: the geological map of Occitania

Thanks to the ALARIC project, BRGM geologists have been able to reconstruct the geological map of the Occitanie region. In doing so, they have been able to trace the extraordinary evolution of the region over more than 600 million years. The video shows you some emblematic geological sites and also explains how our geologists created the map.
