Thierry's research interests concern major catastrophes in Earth's history in the broadest sense, including meteorite impacts and episodes of major volcanic eruptions, and their biotic effects. This research integrates paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, clay mineralogy and geochemistry in reconstructing past environmental change associated with or leading up to mass extinctions.

Jean-Luc Epard is specialized in structural and alpine geology. His research focuses on the geometry and kinematics of the tectonic nappes formed in collision-type mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Himalayas, folding by detachment (kinematics and balancing) and the quantification of deformations at all scales.
