Natural and technological risks
Chaired by Laurent Boisnard, Sous-Directeur Missions et Données d’Observation de la Terre & Applications, CNES and Gilles Grandjean, Directeur de programme, BRGM

Decision support, presentation of the impact scenario platform (cascading phenomena) developed as part of the PEPR IRIMA project
By Gilles Grandjean, Directeur de programme , BRGM

As part of the PEPR Exploratory Risks (IRIMA, https://www.pepr-risques.fr/fr) a platform is developed to capitalize on a set of existing and/or emerging digital tools. This platform provides a coherent set of interacting material means for calculations, storage, networks, connectivity, capitalization, sharing and dissemination of data and codes. These hardware resources are supplemented by a set of software components allowing different types of users access and differentiated use of resources, ranging from simple consultation to the development of digital models.

These components include:

  • A catalog allowing all resources to be identified and documented in a standardized manner,
  • a viewer/explorer allowing data to be browsed and visualized according to their type (maps, series, etc.),
  • a orchestrator, allowing the chaining of processing and processes in order to produce a determined result,
  • execution engines for environments such as Matlab, R, Python, as well as HPC resources.

The whole allows the implementation of case studies for the various pilot sites of the program. Throughout the duration of the project, this allows and promotes the capitalization, sharing and valorization of data and calculation codes developed.

Biography: Gilles Grandjean (Research Program Director in risks management at BRGM) obtained a Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Montpellier (France) in 1992. After an one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Polytechnic School of Montréal (Canada), he joined the French geological survey (BRGM). In 1995 he started working as a project leader in geophysics at BRGM. He then obtained a Professor Degree in 2000 and got the chair of geophysics at the University of Liège (Belgium) during a one-year sabbatical period. In 2009, at BRGM he took the responsibility of the head of the ground instabilities group and then Deputy Director of the Risk and Prevention Division there. He is currently Director of the Risks program at BRGM. His research activities are focused on geophysical and remote sensing imaging (tomography, inversion, image processing) applied to geotechnics (cavities detection, trenchless works, landscape management), geology (fracture imaging, soils characterization) or natural hazards (landslides, seismology). He his author of more than 65 international publications, and received in 2004 the EAGE Mintrop Award for the best paper in Near Surface Geophysics and in 2012 the best of Near Surface Geosciences presentations. He was involved, as coordinator or collaborator, in several national or international projects related to natural hazards and risks. He is director of the France 2030 scientific program on risks since 2023.
