Scientific council

The scientific council is twofold: internal and international. The internal council leads discussions and initiates projects on cross-cutting themes. External members advise IUEM on its scientific strategy. The International Scientific Council meets over several days once every two years. The external members of the International Council produce a report to advise IUEM on its scientific strategy.

Board of Directors

The CODIR brings together the units, training and observatory directors. It is a place for discussion and construction of IUEM’s policy towards its guardians and partners. It examines the points that impact the strategy and require arbitration (e.g. requests for positions, heavy investments).

Head of IUEM : Fred Jean (dir.), Jacques Deverchère (dir. adjoint), Sara Bazin (deputy dir.) and France Floc’h (deputy dir.)

Labs directors : Gaëlle Guéguen-Hallouet (AMURE), Cyril Tissot (LETG-Brest), Géraldine Sarthou (LEMAR), Pierre-Marie Sarradin (BEEP), Jérôme Paillet (LOPS), Marc-André Gutscher (GEO-OCEAN), Isabelle Linossier (LBCM, Lorient)

RESEARCH

LEMAR

The Laboratory of Marine Environmental Sciences (LEMAR) aims to understand the interactions within the marine biosphere. It brings together biologists, physicists and chemists on a variety of sites, from poles in the tropics to coastal areas in the deep ocean.

Director : Géraldine Sarthou

>>> LEMAR website

GEO-OCEAN

Geo-Ocean (GO) is a geoscience laboratory covering many topics such as geophysics, geochemistry, tectonics, sedimentology and paleontology.

Director : Marc-André Gutscher

>>> LGO website

LOPS

The Physical and Spatial Oceanography Laboratory (LOPS) aims to observe and study ocean movements, their relationship to the atmosphere, seabed and coastline, and their influences on life in the oceans.

Director : Jérôme Paillet

>>> LOPS website

AMURE

The AMURE – Development of Uses, Resources, Marine and Coastal Spaces unit’s field of research is defined as the analysis and economic and legal evaluation of public policies and institutions in the fields of territorial development and maritime activities, resource exploitation and the conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems.

Director : Gaëlle Guéguen-Hallouet

>>> AMURE website

BEEP

The Laboratory of Biolology and Ecology of Deep Marine Ecosystems (BEEP) focuses on the microbiology of extreme environments, such as hydrothermal springs, cold seeps from continental margins and the ocean floor.

Director : Pierre-Marie Sarradin

>>> BEEP website

LETG-Brest

LETG-Brest’s research activities (Coastal – Environment – Remote Sensing – Geomatics) bring together several fields of geography: physical geography, human and social geography, remote sensing and geomatics, in order to study human-nature interactions in coastal and maritime environments.

Director : Cyril Tissot

>>> LETG-Brest website

LBCM

The Biotechnology and Marine Chemistry Laboratory (LBCM) is shared between the Université de Bretagne sud (UBS) and UBO. The research carried out there is based on two axes: biofilm – Microbiome and Blue Biotechnologies.

Director : Isabelle Linossier

>>> LBCM website

OBSERVATION

IUEM Marine Observatory

The IUEM Marine Observatory aims to acquire scientific data (biological, chemical and physical parameters) necessary for understanding the states of coastal and offshore marine environments and their responses to global changes.
