Research at LISAH is based on the idea that the analysis of landscape functioning requires advancing simultaneously our understanding of mass transfer processes and the explicit representation of the geometry and properties of cultivated environments that are under anthropic influence. Under this approach , research  is carried out within  the three teams  :

• Water and pollutants in agricultural catchments
• Erosion and solid matter transport in agricultural  catchments
• Spatial organization and dynamics of soils and cultivated landscape
