The UFR Geosciences & Mines ensures the following training programmes:
- Geosciences (geology and geophysics)
- Mining
Training leading to degree:
- Specialized Engineer in “Geology”
- Specialized Engineer in “Geophysics
- Master in “Geosciences”
Continuous Training:
- Advanced training, re-training
- Seminars
Laboratories:
- Rocks’ Laboratory
 |
The making of thin sections starting from a sample of rock or carrot for:
- Microscope Study of the thin sections under to plot the geological history of an area,
- Petrographic Study of the oil reservoirs.
Material used: power saw, Grinding machine, Polishing machine.
* Training: Practical work for the students.

- X- Rays Laboratory
 |
The X-Rays Diffraction constitutes the most useful and widely used techniques for the identification of minerals.
Any crystallized body can be analyzed by X-Rays Diffraction: a beam of x-rays is diffracted on a network of crystallized plans according to BRAGG law.
• Preparation of samples
- Crushing of samples
- Preparation of powders
• Preparation of clays
* Training: practical works for the students, training on the techniques.

- Geoframe station/ Interprétation (Schlumberger) & Station / Traitement (Landmark)
The Geosciences & Mines TRU has 03 stations of data handling respectively dedicated to geophysics:
the seismic data processing (Landmark Stations; ProMAX software):
- 2D, 3D software and seismic of the wells,
- 2D/3D conventional treatment,
- AVO analysis, PSV treatment zero Offset and with Offset,
The interpretation of the seismic data (Stations: Landmark/Schlumberger):
- 2D/3D Seismic Interpretation,
- Layout of the charts in isochronal, isobaths and reserves estimate,
- Calculation and chock of synthetic film with the section,
- Calculation of the seismic attributes,
- Logging (setting and interpretation),
- Geology: reconstitution of the stratigraphic column, layers demarcation of and correlation work.
The Training: practical work of interpretation and realization of seminars.

Future actions:
1. Room of Simulation software:
This room will be available soon for simulations using the specialities’software, actually in the course of acquisition:
2. Acquisition of Soil mechanics Laboratory:
• Granulometric analysis ‘all types of grounds’
• Sedimentation analysis (from 0,995 to 1,038 g/ml)
• Test of compaction (Proctor Test) `' all types of grounds, variable reaching 04 m maximum `'
• Oedometric compression test
• Resistance test: apparatus of direct shearing provided with a shearing Cell (50 mm)
• C.B.R Test
• Triaxial/direct shearing Test `' 50 mm cell sample ' (applicable Press of containment by hydraulic jack).
• Relative density Measure
• Atterberg limits Measure: Manual and motorized Standard apparatus provided with smooth cups
• Permeability Measure (permeability Cell with constant and variable load)
• Specific Weight Measure
• Water content Measure
• Triaxial Materials Control/Oedometry/direct shearing
• Control of the compaction of the excavations (portable light dynamic Penetrometer for all the types of grounds), variable Depth being able to reach 04 meters maximum.
* Training: practical work for students.
3. Acquisition of the Simulator ‘Work Over’,
4. Acquisition of the Microscope,
5. Setting up soon the International Training Centre Landmark.
