Scientific Infrastrukture and Platforms

The „Scientific Infrastructure and Platforms“ organizes and cares science services, like satellite communication for global networks and observatories. A central position takes thereby the adaptation and development of modern information technologies, which are settled in the Centre for GeoInformation Technology CeGIT. Also belongs the supply of scientific information in the form of print media and increasingly in electronic form by the Library and Information Services LIS  to the main tasks.

MESI
Modular Earth Science Infrastructure (MESI) contains different instruments and instrument pools, laboratories, data and information portals.

Observatories
The "Global Change Observatories (GCO)", "Plate Boundary Observatories (PBO)" and TERENO are supposed to observe long term processes like the Global Change and tectonic processes.

Scientific Drilling
Scientific Drilling ICDP plans, develops and supports drilling projects for basic geoscientific research, geothermal exploration and CO₂ sequestration. International projects are supported mainly within the framework of the International Scientific Continental Drilling Program (ICDP) as well as national and international projects of different funding agencies.

Library and Information Services LIS
The Library and Information Services is a special library, which provides services to the scientists on the campus Telegrafenberg.
