IPAG, Institut de Planétologie & d’Astrophysique de Grenoble
Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble
IPAG addresses stellar and planetary formation, from the initial phases of the core collapse where molecular complexity builds up, to the circumstellar disk physics and chemistry and planets formation, including star-disk interaction via the star magnetosphere. IPAG also works on the physical processes implied in accretion-ejection phenomena around young stellar objects and compact objects where high energy and relativistic effects are involved. In planetary sciences, IPAG studies sun-earth interactions, planetary subsurfaces, small bodies in the solar system, and the chemical evolution of primitive matter. To accompany these thematic research themes, IPAG works on cutting edge instrumental developments.

IGE, l’Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement
Institute for Geosciences and Environmental research
IGE conducts research on climate, the water cycle, cryosphere and natural and anthropized environments. This research aims to better understand the processes that govern the various geophysical compartments (ocean, atmosphere physics and chemistry, cryosphere, watersheds, critical zone), their interactions and responses to human pressures, and the processes of adaptation and resilience of societies.

LECA, Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine
Laboratory of Alpine Ecology
LECA’s research aims to understand the mechanisms driving the origin of biodiversity, the spatio-temporal dynamics of biodiversity and the associated functions, and predicting their response to a variety of drivers (climate change, pollution, land use change, invasive species, … ), with a special focus on alpine ecosystems.

LEGI, Laboratoire des Écoulements Géophysiques et Industriels
Laboratory of Geophysical and Industrial Flows
Research activities in Fluid Mechanics and Transfer conducted at LEGI combine modeling, testing (more than 40 experimental facilities including large equipments), high performance numerical simulation (parallel computers, national computing centers ...) and the development of innovative measuring instruments. These activities are related to numerous fields of application within environmental as well as industrial issues.

LESSEM - Ecosystèmes et Sociétés En Montagne, from INRAE
LESSEM conducts research on the dynamics of mountain socio-ecosystems, aiming to strike a balance between in-depth study of specific disciplines (in ecology: functional ecology, community ecology, restoration ecology; in spatial modeling; in the humanities and social sciences: sociology, agronomy, land use planning, economics) and the development of interdisciplinary research, combining thematic contributions and methodological perspectives.

EDYTEM, Environnements, Dynamiques et Territoires de Montagne
The Edytem Laboratory, Environments, Dynamics and Mountain Territories
EDYTEM is an interdisciplinary environmental research laboratory working on interactions between societies and environments, particularly in mountainous regions. Its researchers draw on and combine perspectives from the humanities and social sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and material sciences to understand environmental trajectories at different scales.

CARRTEL, Centre Alpin de recherche sur les réseaux trophiques et écosystèmes limniques
Alpine Center for research on trophic networks and limnic ecosystems
CARRTEL contributes to the understanding of how human and climate change affect essential resources and fundamental ecological functions within aquatic systems and their watersheds, and how this affects ecosystem services such as food, drinking water, biodiversity, maintenance of aquatic fauna and flora, water flow regulation, transfer and sequestration of nutrients or pollutants.
