Institute for Earth Sciences (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris)

The Institute for Earth Sciences (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) is a research center that studies our planet’s physical properties, internal structure, and processes. It explores how Earth’s crust, mantle, and core behave, and investigates phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and plate movements. By understanding these natural processes, the institute helps improve earthquake prediction, natural hazard assessment, and insights into Earth’s history and evolution. It combines geology, geophysics, and other scientific disciplines to advance knowledge about Earth’s dynamic systems, supporting efforts to protect communities and better understand our planet.
