Iceland GeoSurvey (ÍSOR) takes part in many research projects, both to expand their own understanding and to search for ground breaking knowledge in the field of earth sciences and geothermal energy. The research projects are supported of energy companies or domestic and foreign research funds, such as the European Union and the Geothermal Research Group (GEORG) of which ÍSOR is a part.
