Section 2.1: "Earthquake Risk and Early Warning"

Head of Section: Prof. Dr. Torsten Dahm

We investigate how earthquakes nucleate, rupture and interact, how volcanic unrest develops and possibly leads to eruptions, how the hazard of earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis can be assessed and how to rapidly obtain and provide information on such extreme events after their occurrence. In a broadest sense, we aim to reduce georisk from such natural hazards.
