Equipe DISCOVE

DISCOVE research addresses issues related to sustainable management of soil, water, biodiversity, as well as chemical and microbial risks. More precisely the team focuses on the integral roles the soil plays as a support of agriculture and as a filter protecting water resources quality, by elucidating and modeling the Dynamics of Interactions between the Soil, Contaminants, Living Organisms and Water.

The team is particularly interested in :
- the ecology and behavior of invertebrates, and their impact on mass (water, contaminants) transfer in the soil,
- the link between environment - health and crop production.
- adapting medical imaging methods to gain dynamic information on processes taking place inside the soil.
