Partner 3. GET (UMR 5563 CNRS-UPS)
GET - Géosciences Environnement Toulouse (former LMTG) is a large CNRS laboratory from (UMR
5563, A+), University of Toulouse and IRD that comprises more than 200 people.
A large group of scientists are actively involved in field studies of soil, waters and plants, together with others specialist of experimental methods aiming at reproducing field observations and numerical modelers. This laboratory is also at the forefront in the exploration of new geochemical tracers, like Fe isotopes, thanks to state of the art analytical equipments (high resolution MC-ICP-MS, collision cell ICP-MS, ultra-fast laser ablation systems). This laboratory is probably the only one in France that systematically performs geochemical (ground) research in arctic and sub-arctic zone of Russia, in tight collaboration with numerous Russian colleagues (more than 10 Research Institutes). This collaboration is fostered by existing of two long-term structures – European Associated Laboratory LIA LEAGE (2006-2014) and Group of International Research GDRI CAR-WET-SIB, those objectives completely coincides with the topic of the present project.
Oleg Pokrovsky (CR CNRS) and Jérôme Viers (Prof.) are internationally known scientists in
biogeochemistry and isotope geochemistry and will lead the partner team. Partner 3 includes Russian
collaborators: S. Kirpotin (UTomsk), A. Prokushkin & L. Shirokova (Russian Academy of Science).
