Through its contribution to fundamental advances on understanding the dynamics of the climates, the soils and the evolution of paleo environments,the CEREGE has become a national and European leader in these areas, particularly in the southern countries and the Mediterranean.

The CEREGE covers a wide range of scientific topics developed at a very high level and supported by advanced analytical tools. It is one of the most large laboratory in Earth Sciences at a national and international level.

It brings together prestigious sponsorships (CNRS, Aix Marseille University, IRD, Collège de france, INRAé), testifying to the strong interest of national organisations in this multidisciplinary laboratory. It also benefits from many national supports (2 EQUIPEX, 2 LABEX and 2 EQUIPEX +) and has contributed to the creation of two major AMIDEX Institutes: ITEM and ARKAIA.

Over the period 2016-2021, CEREGE has produced 1575 publications in A-ranked journals and 170 book chapters. In the Shanghai ranking by academic subject, Aix-Marseille University (and thus CEREGE) is in the top 100 with the 86th place out of 500 institutions ranked in the Earth Sciences domain of Web of Science.

76% of publications involve partners outside CEREGE: USA (22%), Germany (16%), United Kingdom (15%) and 22% with Brazil, India, Chile, Vietnam, Cameroon, Senegal...
