Our experience
Collecting subsurface data and enhancing these by incorporation into maps (paper and digital format) – this is one of BRGM’s key roles.
During the geological mapping of France programme, BRGM mastered skills that it has since been putting to good use in many regions of the World (Arabian Peninsula, West Africa, Central Africa, South Africa, South America, French Indies, etc.).
Providing access to digital geological data.
