Présentation

Dr. Alexis Gutierrez, (Ph.D. in hydrogeology at Paris University), started his professional career in 1988 in field hydrogeology and drilling supervision. He joined BRGM in 1989 to co-ordinate a two-year project on the fresh water resources of Malta island. Back to France (in BRGM subsidiary ANTEA) his multidisciplinary experience was used to solve groundwater flow and transport problems underneath nuclear waste depositories. Mathematical models were intensely used to valid and quantify hydrogeological and contaminant transport assumptions. In November 2001, he joined the Water Department at BRGM to lead hydrogeological work packages of European research projects, studying and modelling the migration of contaminant towards and within aquifers. Since 2015, he’ in charge of the coordination of BRGM groundwater projects outside France and manages some of the biggest ones. Alexis Gutierrez has always kept a part of engineering and field works in his activities. He regularly intervenes abroad to perform hydrogeological expertise on various subjects such as sea-water intrusion; Mining exploration or exploitation impact on groundwater; groundwater contamination and resources assessment for water supply. He’s been in charge of many groundwater investigation projects for industrials (mineral water and breweries). A.Gutierrez has also managed important projects in Palestine; Bolivia, Lebanon, Namibia or South-Africa. Besides his work at BRGM, Mr Gutierrez gives lectures in several universities and delineates groundwater protection areas for the French administration.
