French Geological Reference Framework Day – June 23

On June 23, ISTerre will host the French Geological Reference Framework (RGF) – Alps Project, coordinated by BRGM.

Usually held in Orléans, this event is exceptionally taking place in Grenoble this year at the request of BRGM, which wished to highlight ISTerre’s research and activities.

Following the scientific presentations, participants will take part in a field excursion to the Chamrousse ophiolite, offering a practical illustration of the themes explored during the day.
