Our solutions
Coastal risks and climate change
In a context of global climate change (sea level rise, coastal area dynamics), BRGM is actively involved in risk prevention and sustainable planning for coastal areas. We propose innovative approaches and tools and participate in coastal monitoring networks.

Our solutions
Optimisation of offshore projects through surveys of marine geology and the assessment of associated risks
Having an in-depth understanding of the local geology is crucial for developing projects in the maritime sector (energy production, mineral resources, storage, infrastructure layout). It provides fundamental information for determining the choice of location, the type and size of the infrastructures that can be installed, and thus the technical and economic viability of a project. Drawing on its extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of marine geology, BRGM can provide you with support to help ensure the success of your projects by identifying the geological context and related risks.
