Armutlu
Evolution of seismicity at the western end of the 1999 Izmit rupture
Ten major earthquakes with magnitudes above Ms > 6.5 migrated along the North-Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ) between 1939 and 1999. The western end of the 1999 Izmit earthquake rupture is located south of Istanbul next to the northern shoreline of the Armutlu Peninsula depicted by distinct clusters of micro-seismic activity........
CCMP - POMPEI
Physics of Magma Propagation and Emplacement: a multi-methodological Investigation
Central Asia
Cross-Border Natural Disaster Prevention in Central Asia
This project aims to contribute to seismic risk reduction in the region. It has been initiated by the Federal Foreign Office Germany, InWEnt and the Helmholtz Zentrum Potsdam Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum.
Centre for Early Warning
The aim of the Centre for Early Warning is to develop and implement methodologies for early warning of various natural hazards (earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides).
EMCA
The Earthquake Model Central Asia
The Earthquake Model Central Asia (EMCA) is the GEM regional program, coordinated by the GFZ......
GEOSIM
Graduate school for Explorative Simulation of Earth Sciences
GEOSIM is a new graduate research school funded by the Helmholtz association and grants....
Ground Motions
Quantification of extreme ground-motions
The understanding and modeling of ground motions related to earthquake ruptures is of major importance for seismic hazard analysis. I
LAMAS
Large scale intrusion, lateral magma reservoir growth and stress field changes at Lazufre volcano, Chile
Collapsed calderas are the morphological and structural surface expression of magma reservoirs that emptied during large volcanic eruptions and may reach diameters of tens of kilometers. Abundant remnants of such collapse.....
MATRIX
New Multi-Hazard and Multi-Risk Assessment Methods for Europe
Natural hazards and risks are often assessed individually by scientists, engineers and civil protection authorities. This is despite the fact that different hazards.......
Megathrust earthquake cycle
Convergent plate boundaries at continental margins belong to the tectonically most active areas on earth and are the potential source of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. While the bulk of strain accumulation......
MIIC
Monitoring and Imaging based on Interferometric Concepts
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new field in seismology (Courtland, 2008). New concepts from mesoscopic physics have dramatically changed the seismologists’ view on ambient noise and seismic coda. Being disturbing signals that hinder the detection of earthquakes only six years ago these wave fields become a major source of information that is used with seismic interferometry.
MINE
MINing Environments: continuous monitoring and simultaneous inversion
The MINE project intends to develop and implement tools to monitor mining areas and underground reservoirs,........
NERA
Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation
The overall aim of NERA is to achieve a measurable improvement and a long-term impact in the assessment and reduction of the vulnerability of constructions and citizens to earthquakes. NERA wil..
PROGRESS
Potsdam Research Cluster for Georisk Analysis, Environmental Change and Sustainability. The project is part of the BMBF-program „Spitzenforschung und Innovation in den Neuen Ländern“.
REAKT
Strategies and tools for Real Time EArthquake RisK ReducTion
REAKT aims to improve the efficiency of real-time earthquake risk mitigation methods and their capability of protecting structures, infrastructures and populations. Of primary importance is the development of methodologies that will enhance the quality of information provided .....
TOPOMOD
Subtopic ESR 7: Exploring the topography time scale in volcanic rifts
TOPOMOD is a training project designed for a team of early-stage and experienced researchers to investigate and model the origin and evolution of topography of the continents over a wide rang......
Tsunami Training Courses
Tsunami Training Courses, an GITEWS Project, Workpackage WP6100 (GFZ)
Indonesia is currently establishing the Indonesian Tsunami Warning System (InaTWS) in co-operation with several international partners; especially Germany who is contributing via the GITEWS project (German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System).
