Centre for Research and Teaching in Environmental Geoscience

CEREGE, Centre Européen de Recherche et d’Enseignement de Géosciences de l’Environnement (European Centre for Research and Teaching in Environmental Geoscience), regroups around 130 permanent staff (45 university lecturers and professors, 40 researchers and 45 engineers, technicians, and administrative staff), and 110 temporary staff including around 60 graduate students. CEREGE is a joint research centre (UM 34), incorporating Aix-Marseille University (AMU), the CNRS (UMR7330), the IRD (UMR 161), and the COLLEGE DE France. The INRAE is also a partner. We are located in Provence, at the Technopôle Environnement Arbois Méditerranée, Petit Plateau de l’Arbois (Aix-en-Provence, Les Milles) and on the St Charles campus of AMU in Marseille. Thanks to its theoretical, methodological, and technological approaches to research, CEREGE is strongly interdisciplinary. Research Themes at CEREGE Climate Sustainable Environment Earth and Planets Ressources, Réservoirs and Hydrosystems At Aix-Marseille University, and through the auspices of the Faculty of Science and OSU Pytheas, CEREGE runs or is associated with the entire spectrum of Earth Sciences and Environment courses, from the first year undergraduate to doctoral training. We offer a range of multidisciplinary courses on environmental topics: geosciences, biodiversity, chemistry and global change. Our courses aim to combine the acquisition of high-level specialist skills in a particular discipline with a multidisciplinary approach to studying environmental problems.
