The International Centre for Geohazards (ICG) is a Norwegian, multidisciplinary research and educational institute, hosted at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). According to the institute's website,International Centre for Geohazards
ICG's research activities focus on the assessment, prevention and mitigation of geohazards, in which the latter is defined as ''a geological state that represents or has the potential to develop further in a situation leading to damage or uncontrolled risk''.
