On April 9, the delegation from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), including Director Prof. Marc Chaussidon, Deputy Director Prof. Marc Benedetti, and Prof. Yann Klinger (Chair of IPGP's Scientific Council and Honorary Professor of Tianjin University), visited SESS to promote further collaboration. The delegation was welcomed by Academician Liu Congqiang, Dean of SESS, along with Associate Deans Chen Jiubin and Lang Yunchao, as well as faculty representatives.
During their visit, the delegation also toured the school's experimental and analytical technology platforms.
The INSTITUT DE PHYSIQUE DU GLOBE DE PARIS was founded in 1921. It conducts researches in all fields of solid Earth studies (Geophysics, Geochemistry, Quantitative Geology) by combining terrestrial and marine observation as well as laboratory analysis and measurement with the development of conceptual, analogical and digital models. The IPGP's study of natural hazards includes responsibility for monitoring the three French active volcanoes (La Soufrière in Guadeloupe, Mount Pelée in Martinique and Piton de la Fournaise in Réunion) and for the worldwide Géoscope network of seismic stations. The IPGP's work also includes a major contribution to the global Intermagnet network of magnetic observatories.
