DESCRIPTION:Prof. Philippe Gillet\nGEOLOGY … and BEYOND\nGeology reveals
  the book of our origins and confronts us with our responsibilities for th
 e future of the planet. The functioning of the Earth is the result of the 
 interplay of the cooling of the primitive earth formed 4.5 billion years a
 go\, the heating by the sun and the evolution of life to the present day. 
 It is a chemically closed system with highly contrasting time scales and m
 ovements that has led to the resource capital on which we have built our s
 ocieties\, with its attendant natural and man-made disasters. Reading a fe
 w pages of this history is a reminder of how the earth evolved and how the
  tools of geology find applications in the great societal transitions we m
 ust face in the coming decades.\n\nBiography\n\nRESEARCH FIELDS\nEarth and
