Yesterday, November 19, the ICGC received the donation of the documentary collection of the geologist Jordi Corominas, a reference in landslide research in Catalonia.

This collection includes more than 7,000 slides, dated between 1979 and 2000, which document ground movements and other geological risks in the Catalan and Andorran territory. The material, which will be digitized for public consultation in the Map Library of Catalonia, will be key for new studies, territorial management and awareness of natural risks.
