  • Research domains

    The interdisciplinary nature of the unit’s work is based on multi-disciplinary
    research topics :

    • Ontology or formal modelling of knowledge
    • Observatories of changes and connection to environment/society
    • Environment, Society and Health Risks
    • Co-viability
  • Main scientific collaborations

    GEOSUD / NATIONAL NETWORK
    GEOSUD brings together 13 institutional partners working
    in research, higher education and public administration of
    the environment and regions. It seeks to develop a free-toaccess
    national infrastructure of satellite data for the scientific
    community and public stakeholders.
    Today, the approach is being strengthened by inclusion in the
    THEIA Centre (Continental Surface Thematic Centre) and the
    creation of a Spot 6/7 image-reception station directly connected
    to the GEOSUD data facility, with results available for download to
    members almost in real time.

    COASTAL STATION-OSU : SNO DYNALIT / NATIONAL NETWORK
    DYNALIT is an observation network with the long-term aim of
    gathering, collecting and sorting high-quality meteorological
    data on changes to coastal areas.

    The University of Reunion Island is a partner of this network,
    along with 10 Science of the Universe Observatories, 22
    Universities and 20 national laboratories. Since 2015, DYNALIT
    has also been in partnership with other elementary observation
    networks to help constitute the ILICO research facility.
