This is a first approach to the integrative biology of organisms.
In this course, named "from cells to organisms", the structure-function relationships at different scales are studied, from the cell (or even the molecule) to the organism in its living environment.

Faculty of Science
This unit of instruction is designed to provide a general context for understanding Earth science and biology while considering the Humanities and Social Sciences fields. Today's Earth is not detached from its past. To understand the impacts of environmental and climatic transformations on planet Earth, a diachronic (long time, change over time) and synchronic (spatial variations) approach is necessary.
Accordingly, this EU presents the history of the Earth through geological time. It discusses the structure, composition and processes of the Earth. Issues, concerns and problems related to natural hazards are also included. These will also be lessons providing the foundation for students to understand the societal issues around climate and environmental issues. The benefits of this course are essential for the well-being of tomorrow's society, enabling the training of young citizens or future workers capable of analyzing, criticizing and thinking about past, present and future environmental and climate issues and of participating in decision-making in societal debates dealing with environmental risks. This course has been designed by teacher-researchers from different scientific fields (Earth and Water Sciences, Ecology, Philosophy, Political Science) showing that approaches ranging from the fundamental to the operational are necessary.

Faculty of Science
This course is designed to make first-year students aware of the issues surrounding the use, exploitation and management of the Earth's natural resources.
By way of introduction, an overview identifying the different types of these resources (energy, mineral, water) and the major associated issues (economic and environmental) will be presented.
Different types of resources will then be presented in three stages:
- The notion of mineral resources will be explored in depth by presenting the itinerary of chemical elements, from their creation in the Universe to their storage in the minerals that make up rocks and their use in the technologies employed in everyday life. This aspect will allow the introduction of basic notions in solid state chemistry and mineralogy, illustrated by mineralogy tutorials and practical exercises.
- The problem and the functioning of geological reservoirs trapping natural resources will be addressed by focusing on conventional energy resources (hydrocarbons) and future resources (underground storage of resources, geothermal energy).
- Finally, the major issues related to water resources in the world will be studied in depth. The global cycle of water on Earth will be presented and the essential notions allowing to understand the current major issues will be identified (definitions of an aquifer and a hydrosystem and the main types encountered, chemical interactions between water and rocks and illustration of processes centered on the chemistry of mineral and thermal waters).

The first year of university is a transitional stage where students must make choices about their orientation: go for a basic or applied degree? Change their discipline? Continue towards a future master's degree, but which one? But it is also a delicate period where students can feel a little lost in moving from the high school system to the university system. This module, built around a few presentations on geoscience careers, is an opportunity to improve the follow-up of students and to discuss in small groups their choices and possible orientations.

This course provides the basis for describing the phenomena related to wave propagation. It deals with (i) the mathematical description (propagation equation), (ii) the physical origins of waves in different systems (string under tension, liquid, solid, etc.) and finally (iii) the phenomena related to the propagation which result from it (energy propagation, attenuation, dispersion, polarization, etc.). The mathematical tools are limited to the minimum to formulate these ideas. The consequences for systems of interest to geosciences are discussed in the form of examples (seismic waves, waves on water etc).
