Our laboratory is the result of the merger of LGIT and LGCA, the two Grenoble solid earth departments. Although ISTerre was officially created the 1st of january 2011, we have been preparing the merger for a long time. Our research activities and programs will obviously continue within this new framework. Whether they are based in Grenoble, Chambéry, Lima or Beirut, we are confident that ISTerre will provide the means to its 250 members to promote innovative research in Earth Sciences
