Les observatoires de l’Infrastructure de Recherche OZCAR (Observatoires de la Zone Critique Applications et Recherche, https://www.ozcar-ri.org/) ont été initialement mis en place pour répondre à une question scientifique qui était d’intérêt pour la société. Pour répondre à ces enjeux, un ensemble de variables documentant les conditions météorologi...
The external parts of mountain belts, including their foreland basins, classically present a fold-and-thrust belt often detached on shallow decollement levels. These areas exhibit complex geometries with significant non-cylindrical components, necessitating a 3D approach to accurately determine the timing and style of deformation in the external zo...
We pioneer microscale geoelectrical acquisition with advanced microfabrication technologies to investigate hydrogeological processes using microfluidics that couples direct visualization of the pore scale dynamics with the geoelectrical response. Geoelectrical monitoring gives information at various scales (µm to m) about dynamic and reactive proce...

Rock slope failures (RSFs) encompass a wide variety of slope instability processes that are generally deep and can affect large areas. Over the last fifteen years, these processes were particularly studied because they are not always stabilized and can reactivate with sudden and brutal acceleration that can lead to catastrophes. Thus, studying thes...
Vertically-resolved measurements of wind velocity in the middle atmosphere are essential for understanding the global circulation driven by dynamical processes such as gravity and planetary waves interacting with the atmospheric flow. While weather balloon soundings provide regular observations of horizontal wind profiles up to about 30 km altitude...

Accessory minerals like zircon, rutile and monazite are routinely studied to inform about the timing and nature of geological processes. These studies are underpinned by our understanding of the transfer processes of trace elements and the assumption that the isotopic systems remain undisturbed. However, the presence of microstructures or Pb-bearin...
The Mars Yard has been created in 2022 at the Cité de l’espace (Toulouse) to host the live animation“The Rovers take the stage” (“Les rovers entrent en scène”). It is built as a ~900 m² arena able toaccommodate ~250 persons at a time (Fig. 1). The idea behind that set was to propose animmersive environment faithfully replicating a Martian geologica...
