This platform is dedicated to the physical characterization of the samples.
Preparations of samples prior to their physical analysis are also performed within this platform.

The platform allows physical analysis of samples of sediment, soil, rock and porous materials from natural environments, mesocosms, microcosms and laboratory experiments:

• particule size distribution (Laser granulometry and sieving)
• materials pore size determination
• sediments colorimetric characterization
• hyperspectral imaging (high resolution analysis of sedimentary archives)
• zeta potential measuring
• soils mechanical characterization by triaxial testing
