English name: Laboratory G-Time Parent institute: Université Libre de Bruxelles; Faculté des Sciences; Département Géosciences, Environnement et Société (ULB-DSTE), more
The laboratory G-Time (Geochemistry & Geophysics) was founded in 2001 and was formerly known as the research unit IPE 'Isotopes: Petrology and Environment'. This group conducts research about the research themes Geochemistry, Volcanology and Brucares (Brussel's University Platform for Geochemical Analyses in Environment, Health and Society). The Geochemistry team applies isotope geochemistry (radiogenic isotopes and non-traditional stable isotopes) and petrology to Earth mantle dynamics, early earth and planetary processes, and environmental studies. Within the Volcanology field, chemical and physical properties of the products of past volcanic eruptions are studies and novel monitoring approaches at active-dormant volcanoes are used to better understand future hazards and forecast eruptions.
Marine research topics that are currently studied at G-Time are: hydrothermal systems and rock - fluid interactions as well as the dynamics of volcano hydrothermal systems.
