About ICG

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE for GEOHAZARDS (ICG) is one of Norway's first Centres of Excellence (CoE). NGI is the hosting organisation. NGI's partners in ICG are NORSAR, the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

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. The Centres of Excellence are an initiative to provide funding for internationally leading research groups in Norway.
