The Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering of the National Research Council was born in Rome in 2001 from the merger of five previous institutes operating in various fields of geology, engineering, chemistry and geochemistry, thus realizing the integration of skills typical of the sciences earth, geotechnical and mining engineering and environmental chemistry. The mission of the Institute consists in the study and understanding of geological and natural processes and anthropogenic activities that interact with the environment, activities and human life.
