Partner Institute Highlight
International Center for Geohazards
Oslo, Norway
The International Center for Geohazards (ICG) is one of Norway's first Centres of Excellence (CoE), hosted by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). NGI's partners are NORSAR, the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The ICG carries out research on the assessment, prevention and mitigation of geohazards, including risk of landslide in soil and rock due to rainfall, flooding, earthquakes and human intervention, and the geological risks in deep waters, especially underwater slides. The Centre also contributes to the education of researchers and specialists in these fields.
