About BRGM
BRGM is a French public organisation dedicated to applying Earth Sciences to manage resources and risks in soil and underground. It aims to understand geological phenomena and associated risks, develop new methods and techniques as well as produce and disseminate data about soil, underground and resources management.
This research background enables BRGM to provide the necessary tools for soil, underground and resources management, prevention of risks and pollution and politics responding to climate change.

Dominique Guyonnet
Dr Dominique Guyonnet is Head of BRGM Campus; a department of BRGM (the French Geological Survey) that develops partnerships with schools and universities to support teaching in Geoscience. He has developed several courses in the area of raw material efficiency and criticality, with an emphasis on resource efficiency indicators and material flow analysis (MFA) applied to critical metals. He led the 4-year ASTER project relative to flows and stocks of rare earth elements in the EU-27. D. Guyonnet has published around 50 papers in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
