NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute
Dieter Issler is a highly experienced specialist in the field of geotechnics and natural hazards, currently serving as a Senior Specialist at Norges Geotekniske Institutt since January 2007, focusing on research related to gravity mass flows, including snow and rock avalanches. Previously, Dieter owned NaDesCoR Naturgefahrenberatung D. Issler, where consulting services and research were provided on natural hazards from April 2000 to December 2006. From October 1990 to March 2000, Dieter conducted research on snow avalanche dynamics at the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow & Avalanche Research, developing numerical models SL-3D and SL-1D. Earlier commitments include postdoctoral fellowships at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berne, focusing on Chiral Perturbation Theory. Dieter holds a PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, as well as diplomas in Physics and Theoretical Physics from ETH Zürich.

NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute
NGI is an independent international centre for research and consultancy in engineering-related geosciences, integrating geotechnical, geological and geophysical expertise. We find good and sustainable solutions for building infrastructure on land and at sea, and within environmental technology, contaminated soil and natural hazards – such as landslides and avalanches. Our research provides knowledge required to solve some of the most important challenges facing the world related to climate, environment, energy and natural hazards. Our core tasks are to contribute with research and consulting to societal development. The research at NGI should be relevant, so our results can be used by the market and benefit society, business and industry. Research and consultancy therefore go hand in hand. Our research integrates knowledge across geotechnics, geology and geophysics. Public authorities, business and private industry in Norway and abroad use our geo-expertise to ensure that we build our society on safe ground. Our head office and laboratories are in Oslo, Norway, with a branch office in Trondheim, Norway, and an avalanche research station on Mount Strynefjellet in western Norway. We have overseas offices and a geotechnical laboratory in Houston, Texas, USA, and office in Perth, Western Australia, as well as partnership agreements with well-established companies and universities around the world.
