Founded in 1920, the «Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre» is the only French Engineering School devoted to Geophysics. Courses combine solid theoretical training with laboratory work as well as more practical field work in conjunction with the industrial sector. The Engineering students’ training is based on the in-depth study of geophysical methods, the geological environment and the mathematical and computing tools used for data processing and interpretation. Engineering graduates would expect to be employed by companies and organisations involved in the study of the ground and the understanding of geological processes so as to : - Seek and exploit underground resources (hydrocarbons, water, ores) - Manage the geological environment, natural hazards, pollution, storage, geotechnics. - Improve awareness and monitoring of the planet (earth, ocean, space)
