Acquire the basics of the search of documentation in science and in english, learn how to do a bibliographic search on a topic related to environment, learn the basics of writing a summary report and an oral presentation in English.

This is an intensive course of one week in order to improve the level of scientific English of the students. The gains of this cours will be used in particular for the courses "Communication-documentation" at 1st semester and the course "project / internship" at 2nd semaster, both defended in English.

Students will be introduced to computer programming (FORTRAN). We give them the basic knowledge to write and run programs of scientific calculations, reading and exchange of data (different image formats, different file formats, etc ....) and to overcome the problems posed by certain softwares with "black boxes" processings or with algorithms that are not always appropriate to the problem being handled

Provide thermodynamic bases for the understanding of the steady state of a geochemical system. Give the evolution rules of geochemical systems out of equilibrium.

The main goal is to give students the historical principles of environmental law in France as well as the articulation between national and European level. Knowledge of major texts on environmental law and legal structures in charge of environmental litigation

Studies of tools and methods to assess the movement of the biosphere and the interactions of the atmosphere with soil and vegetation cover to understand scientific issues such as the contribution of agricultural activity to the greenhouse effect, ozone pollution, pollutant dispersion particle, environmental balances on agricultural soils, etc..

Provide basic education in microbiology and explain the interactions with the natural environment, study the biodegradation of chemicals, expose and treat microbiological risks.

This course will consist of the following parts: a)Descriptive statistics: population, sample, biased and non- biased estimators, histograms ... b) Regression: concept of regression and in particular linear regression c) Probability: axioms of probability, probability distributions , statistical test concept ... d) Data mining: principal component analysis and different classification methods. The course will be supplemented by applications to real data in the form of exercises on PCs .

Students will be introduced to general theoretical concepts of geographic information systems (abstraction, acquisition, archiving, analysis, display). They will have an overview of commercial tools (ArcGIS) and open-source tools (QGis). They then move on to the practical part, where they will practice to handle basic operations of a GIS software such as data editing (data entry, import, export), raster registration, management of tables and joins, attribute analysis, spatial analysis and layout

This course aims to strengthen the scientific knowledge of students in scientific English enabling them to understand a scientific article and be able to write a scientific report in English

Intrduction to analytical methods. Training on LGE research instruments.

Acquisition of basic knowledge in remote sensing in different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum: observation (atmosphere, ocean, emerged land), spectral information, pre-processing satellite images,radar imagery, interferometry ...
