Partner 2. CRPG (UPR 2300 CNRS)


CRPG - Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques - is located in Nancy.

For decades, CRPG researchers specialized in the development of new isotope systems to trace sources and processes in various geological environments, including ecosystems. CRPG has a strong international reputation for his expertise in analytical developments and related science applications. Sample preparation labs (clean rooms) and all instrumentations necessary for elemental analyses and high precision isotopic measurements are available.

Christophe Cloquet, a IR (CNRS) with an establish knowledge in isotope analysis and geochemistry, is the team leader. Partner 2 also includes Christian France-Lanord (DR CNRS), an isotope geochemist (δ34S, δ13C, δ18O, δD) specialized in the erosion of the continental crust and the CO2 global cycle with an established international reputation, Barbara Marie and Delphine Yeghicheyan, both engineers specialized in analytical chemistry. Aymeric Schumacher is an assistant engineer specialized in isotopic measurement with MC-ICP-MS. CRPG has another collaborator that will take part of the project: T. Sterckeman is a research engineer (LSE - UMR 1120 INRA/INPL in Nancy) specialized in bio-availability and bio-accumulation of metal in plants.
