The Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP) is a component
institution of Université Paris Cité with 300 students, 2 research
laboratories, 450 researchers, teacher-researchers, administrative and
technical personnel. It is also a leading institution of higher education
and research in Earth sciences, in charge of the permanent observation of
telluric processes (volcanism, seismicity, magnetic field).
IPGP conducts research in all fields of solid Earth studies by combining
observation, experimentation, laboratory analysis and measurement, and the
construction of conceptual, analog and digital models. IPGP’s research is
organized around four main themes: Earth and Planetary Interiors (structure,
composition, evolution and dynamics of the deep Earth and the planets),
Natural Hazards (lithospheric processes, seafloor, tectonics, volcanism,
earthquakes, landslides, space weather), Earth System (critical zone, large
surface cycles, effects of human activities, biosphere-hydrosphere-geosphere
interactions), and Origins (of the solar system, planets, Earth, life,
oceans, atmosphere). The Institute’s research teams have developed and
operate high-level experimental and analytical equipment, most of which is
grouped together in instrumental platforms open to the academic and
industrial world.
The institute is responsible for the observatories of the three active
volcanoes in France (La Soufrière in Guadeloupe, Montagne Pelée in
Martinique and Piton de la Fournaise in Reunion Island). It likewise
operates a network of 33 seismic stations and 11 magnetic observatories
around the world, as well as the national magnetic observatory in
Chambon-la-Forêt.
IPGP provides degree programs, from bachelor’s to doctorate level, whose
objective is to prepare geoscience students for the world of fundamental and
applied research, for professions related to the exploration and management
of natural resources, as well as for those in the environmental field.
IPGP’s position in the world of international research enables it to attract
highly motivated students from France but also from Europe, America, Asia
and Africa.
IPGP, a historical partner of Paris Diderot University, whose foundation
dates back almost a century (1921), became a major higher education and
research institution in 1990. This status was awarded to it following a
gradual awareness on the part of the State, particularly after the volcanic
crisis at the Soufrière de Guadeloupe in 1976, of the need to have an
institution in France capable of possessing specific operational capacities
that are guaranteed over the long term, enabling it to acquire and make
accessible to the community high-level scientific data on the state of the
three active volcanoes in France and to be a reference scientific
institution for the authorities and the French government.
To fulfill its missions, IPGP is supported by a governance system that
integrates research, observation and teaching. Its status as a major
establishment enables it to rely on dedicated and secure means over the long
term to guarantee uninterrupted observation, rapid and continuous
transmission of observation data, their scientific interpretation at the
highest level, and very rapid reactivity in the event of a crisis.
