Characterization of environmental quality

Presentation

“Welience Agroenvironnement” and “Sciences de l’Homme et des Sociétés” develops a pluridisciplinar approach in environmental chemistry, paleo-environment, eco-toxicology and microbiology in the long term:

• Remanence and dissipation of pollutants in the environment;
• Tracers and bio-indicators of anthropization on the environment;
• Impact of Humans on biodiversity: historical approach, modelling and simulation.

Projects/Achievements

• Impact of abandoned mines on present aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems;
• Impact study of cultural practices (phytosanitary treatment or not) on the diversity of bacterial communities involved in carbon mineralization and nitrification-denitrification). 

Applications/Markets

• Mining and industrial impact;
• Environmental diagnostic;
• Environmental preservation;
• Comprehension analysis of spatial occupancy.
  

Expertise

• Analysis and measurement of organic and inorganic contaminants, and determination of their sources;
• Evaluation of the impact of human activity on the environment: life, atmosphere, soil, water;
• Spatial and temporal analysis of pollutants;
• Statistical data treatments, data mining, modelling;
• Environmental diagnostic and surveillance.
