Using digital technology to develop open, reproducible and predictive geoscience

Faced with the challenges linked to the subsurface, it is essential to speed up the production of knowledge and make more-reliable predictions, by improving the ability to assemble existing data and develop high-performance numerical models. Integrating new technologies and digital resources is a major lever for achieving these scientific gains and transforming geoscience. Moreover, all the themes covered by BRGM, and even beyond, rely on acquiring and hosting geo-environmental data to make it available. This is why the institution has implemented an open science approach to all its activities in order to provide reliable, long-term information on the subsurface, its condition, properties and resources.
