BRGM, the French geological survey, is France’s leading public institution for Earth Science applications for the management of surface and sub-surface resources with a view to sustainable development.

Under partnerships with numerous public and private stakeholders, BRGM focuses on scientific research, expertise and innovation. Its activity meets 4 objectives:

• understanding geological phenomena and related risks,
• developing new techniques and methodologies,
• producing and distributing data for surface, subsurface and resource management,
• providing the tools required to manage the surface, subsurface and resources, prevent risks and pollution, and manage policies in response to climate change.

BRGM’s action is in line with 6 major scientific and societal challenges:

• Geology and knowledge of the subsurface
• Groundwater management
• Risks and spatial planning
• Mineral resources and the circular economy
• Subsurface potential for the energy transition
• Digital data, services and infrastructure
