Sustainable, integrated management of natural resources such as groundwater, surface water and subsoil requires in-depth knowledge of local and regional conditions.

The aim of natural hazard management is to prevent and limit damage to property and people caused by natural phenomena.

CREALP collects, manages and disseminates a vast amount of geological and environmental data.

Through its innovation and applied research projects and the services it has provided in recent years, CREALP is working to improve understanding and management of natural hazards in Switzerland and abroad.

Knowledge transfer is a fundamental part of CREALP. We offer training courses for professionals and universities in the fields of water resources and natural risk management.

In addition to our research work, we are actively involved in the popularization of science.
