HydroSciences Montpellier (HSM) is a joint research unit under the umbrella of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Montpellier and the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD). HSM is part of the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU) namely of OSU OREME (Mediterranean Environmental Research Observatory).
HSM is internationally known for its work on hydrosystems: water pathways and resources – contaminant fate, transformation and fluxes in human-impacted catchments, metrology and modelling of hydro-climatic risks.
Our primary target zones are the Mediterranean and Tropical regions. HSM is widely involved in observation services such as AMMA-CATCH in West Africa, SNO Karst, RBV, OHM and the CRITEX project (innovative monitoring of the critical zone) in France.
Project participants: Thierry Bonnabaud La Bruyère, Nanée Chahinian, Carole Delenne.
