Atmospheric Mercury: A decade of observations on Amsterdam Island
Discover OSU-Reunion
Single OSU in the French overseas territories and active since 2010, OSU-Réunion was initially built on observations of the tropical atmosphere, before extending its observation services to marine and forest ecology, geology and hydrology.
What is an OSU?
The observatories of the sciences of the Universe (OSUs) are internal schools within universities, associated with INSU-CNRS (Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers). Each OSU is home to a Unité d’Appui et de Recherche (Research and Support Unit). The UAR, which has the same director as the OSU itself, is a structure to which technical staff and funding from the supervisory bodies (a university and one or more research organizations) can be assigned.

OSU-Reunion’s stations
Along Reunion’s coastline, the coastal station organizes observations of coastline geomorphology, marine ecology and ocean physics. It hosts the first overseas IR ILICO transverse site on the fringing reef.
The Observatoire de l’Erosion à la Réunion is a hydrological observatory focusing on surface and subsurface runoff conditions along the Rivière des Pluies watershed in northern Réunion.
The forestry station organizes observations of tropical forest ecosystems to understand the mechanisms of forest organization and the origins of biodiversity. It welcomes international students and researchers.
The Observatoire de Physique de l’Atmosphère in La Réunion is an observatory for tropical climate (greenhouse gases, reactive trace gases, aerosols, clouds), and a technical platform for international research.
