Welcome

iCRAG, the Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences, is Ireland’s national geoscience research centre supported by Science Foundation Ireland, the European Regional Development Fund, Geological Survey Ireland and industry partners.

Our mission is to transform Irish geoscience by driving research and discovery, delivering economic and societal benefit, and advancing public understanding.

iCRAG’s multidisciplinary research transcends industry and academic boundaries to address key research challenges in the fields of energy security, raw materials supply, groundwater protection, safeguarding the geomarine environment and protection from the Earth’s hazards.

Comprising 150 researchers, seven research institutions and collaborating with more than sixty industry partners, our vision is to help unlock Ireland’s natural resources through developing improved technical knowledge and innovative techniques which are embedded within industry.

Our vision is to be a world leader in applied geoscience research, discovery, and public understanding of Earth’s critical resources and environment for a sustainable society.
