EarthresQue is a Center for Research-Driven Innovation (SFI) that develops technologies and systems for sustainable management and treatment of waste and surplus masses. The center is led by NMBU and NGI has a central role in the research that is done.
NGI assists the municipalities in Øvre Romerike (North of Oslo) in mapping areas that will be exposed to natural hazards in the year 2070-2100 due to climate change. The goal is for the municipalities to be able to use the maps to identify vulnerable infrastructure and areas where new infrastructure should be avoided.
NordicLink is a network of scientists and linear infrastructure stakeholders who collaborate with the objective of increasing the security and resilience of transnational Nordic linear infrastructure networks regarding extreme weather and natural hazards with the purpose of ensuring the high-quality continuation of daily life and the economy.
PlaNet is a multidisciplinary network that will gather experts in the field of nature-based solutions, to create and promote interactions between experts with different scientific backgrounds.
SENSE is a research project funded under the ERA-NET ACT programme. Its primary objective is to demonstrate reliable, cost efficient CO2 storage monitoring using ground surface deformation detection combined with geomechanical modelling and inversion to provide information on pressure distribution and hydraulic behaviour of storage sites.
SLUDGEFFECT is a research and innovation project to investigate and develop practical ways to mitigate the harmful presences of hazardous substances of sewage sludge and e-waste plastic within a circular economy. And thereby contribute to increase the volume of sludge and e-waste plastic that can be the reused.
In connection with constructing an eight-kilometer new railway line for commuter and regional trains, just over six kilometers will go in a tunnel under the center of Gothenburg.
The research project SUSI at NGI has shown that it is possible to reduce the amount of binder necessary to improve soil strength and deformation properties of sensitive clays. Results indicate that there is a lower limit to the amount of binder required. SUSI aims to define this lower limit and to quantify the environmental impact of this reduction in terms of CO2-emissions.
Everything is possible below the surface, but do we always work in the best way? Under Oslo will investigate innovative methods, sustainability and economic considerations when building below the surface.
