The ocean is full of geological treasures, such as volcanoes, faults and rocks characteristic of the seabed, that all represent economic and ecological challenges. That's why it's important to study them, which is precisely the role of marine geologists. Find out more about this fascinating profession from our two researchers, Isabelle Thinon and Anne Lemoine.
