The Institute currently has 185 employees, of which 2/3rds are researchers and the rest are technical and support staff. The main research activities are provided in the following departments: Geophysics, Seismology and Seismic Hazards, Earthquake Engineering, Classical and Satellite Geodesy and Geography.
Department of Geography deals with the spatial differentiation, dynamics and interactions between the processes and phenomena of nature and society in Bulgaria and beyond. This type of spatial interpretation is realized by implementing a comprehensive approach of research. The work of the department is framed in three research groups: Physical Geography, Human Geography and GIS. The main areas of research are global change and environmental protection, European integration, cross-border cooperation and regional sustainable development, education and qualification.
