TecMOD - FASTmodel (CNRS-Paris Sud Orsay University, France)

CNRS-INSU-MESRI - TECMOD-France

TECMOD-F (French Tectonic Modeling network) is a national collaborative network involving French laboratories developing research projects integrating analog or experimental modeling techniques dedicated to the study of geological processes where tectonics plays a significant role. All the scales of time and space are investigated, including long term orogenic processes to morphogenetic processes, until short term seismic deformation, from the deformation at the scale of the lithosphere up to the fracturation and faulting at the scale of a massif or a rock sample. To date, 9 laboratories are connected to the network; Géosciences Rennes, Géosciences Montpellier, GéoSystèmes Lille, GéoAzur, GéophyLab Nantes, Géosciences Environnement Toulouse, Géosciences et environnement Cergy, Magma et Volcan Clermont-Ferrand, FAST Orsay. The National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS-INSU) and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI) insures the legal coordination within the consortium. List of the main institutes and partners of the TECTMOD-F network: National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (CNRS-INSU), The French Geological Survey (BRGM), The National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), French and international private companies such as : TOTAL, Schlumberger, IFP Energies Nouvelles, REPSOL, …

The internal coordination of the consortium is insured in a collective way and managed by the representatives of laboratories and partners: Géosciences Rennes (B. Guillaume), Géosciences Montpellier (S. Dominguez), GéoSystèmes Lilles (B. Vendeville), GéoAzur (A. Chemenda), GéophyLab Nantes (R. Mourgues), Géosciences Environnement Toulouse (S. Bonnet), Géosciences et environnement Cergy (P. Souloumiac), Magma et Volcan Clermont-Ferrand (O. Roche), FAST Orsay (A. Davaille).
