GEOS 2026 – International Symposium on Climate-Induced Geohazards
GEOS 2026 was an international symposium co-organized and co-sponsored by ICG, bringing together researchers, engineers, students, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world to address the growing challenges posed by climate-induced geohazards.
Held in Oslo from 31 August to 2 September 2026 under the theme "Where Science Meets Action", the symposium served as a platform for exchanging knowledge, fostering collaboration, and promoting innovation in geohazard research and practice.
The symposium featured keynote lectures, technical sessions, panel discussions, poster presentations, and networking activities focused on topics such as climate-driven landslides, floods, debris flows, early warning systems, risk management, and community resilience. GEOS 2026 also marked the culmination of several international research collaborations involving partners from Norway, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, India, and Canada.
With approximately 100 participants from four continents, the event strengthened international cooperation and highlighted the need to transform scientific knowledge into practical solutions that enhance resilience and reduce geohazard risks in a changing climate.
