URGéo
Le projet scientifique de l’URGéo (Unité de Recherche en Géosciences) est de faire progresser la connaissance du sol et du sous-sol de l’écorce terrestre et particulièrement celle du territoire national haïtien. Cette connaissance concerne aussi bien la caractérisation des formations géologiques, l’étude des phénomènes endogènes et exogènes qui les affectent, que les outils et méthodes utilisées dans ces études.

Simbi database: historical hydro-meteorological time series and catchment attributes in Haiti, 1905-2005
2023-06-21
Haiti is highly exposed to hydro-climatic hazards. However, no database exists for the scientific community to characterize these hazards. To fill this gap, hydro-climatic data were compiled to create the first historical database in Haiti. This database, called Simbi, will contribute to a better knowledge of Haitian catchment hydrology.
LOW COST, HIGH REWARD SEISMOLOGY IN HAITI
2020-12-09
Nine years after the devastating magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, the first Raspberry Shake (RS) station installed in the country (R30E2) recorded its first local earthquake (See below). At the time the national seismic network, which consists of eight broadband Nanometrics seismometers with VSAT communication capabilities, was inoperative.
