Anthropo-Sed is a geoscience and environmental research and consultancy based in Étival, in France’s Jura region. It specializes in diagnosing, monitoring, and managing aquatic environments, including rivers, lakes, and groundwater, with a focus on water quality, biodiversity, and ecological processes. Its services address chemical contaminants in water, sediments, and soils, including trace elements, persistent organic pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and radionuclides. The team develops tailored analytical approaches, conducts biomonitoring, and assesses potential risks to ecosystems and human health.

Anthropo-Sed also investigates polluted sites and soils, contaminant sources and transfers, and sediment accumulation. Its hydromorphological and hydrosedimentary analyses examine changes to river systems, sediment transport, and the effects of human interventions. By studying sediment cores across time, the organization can help contextualize present-day contamination and reconstruct past environmental changes. Its work supports environmental diagnosis, management planning, and the restoration of natural environments. Through collaborative, applied research, scientific knowledge sharing, and support for public policies and operational stakeholders, Anthropo-Sed aims to inform practical and sustainable environmental decisions.
