Councils and boards

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 international council’s external members produce a report to advise IUEM on its scientific strategy.

RESEARCH

LEMAR

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

Director : Luis Tito de Morais

>>> LEMAR website

LGO

The Ocean Geoscience Laboratory (LGO) is a geoscience laboratory covering many topics such as geophysics, geochemistry, tectonics, sedimentology and paleontology.

Director: Marc-André Gutscher

LOPS

The objective of the Physical and Spatial Oceanography Laboratory (LOPS) is to observe and study ocean movements, their links with the atmosphere, seabed and coastline, and their influences on life in the oceans.

Director : Jérôme Paillet

>>> LOPS website

AMURE

The field of research of AMURE-Aménagement des Usages, des Ressources et des Espaces Marins et Littoraux unit is defined as the economic and legal analysis and evaluation of public policies and institutions in the fields of development of territories and maritime activities, exploitation of resources and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems.
