Geobridge - Geoscience at the ESRF

Welcome to the ESRF Geobridge

In this section, we present an overview of the state-of-the-art X-ray studies in geosciences covered presently by ESRF staff members and close collaborators. We also present the unique scientific opportunities in geosciences made available thanks to the ESRF-Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade and the concomitant beamline refurbishment programmes. This section also includes documentation of scientific achievements, members' research projects, the instruments and highly optimized sample environments.
