Flank collapses on coastal areas and volcanoes can trigger so-called atypical tsunamis. Thanks to the "Tsunami_Risk" project, such hazards are taken into account in the Indonesian early warning system
A study in Science on the erosion dependence of the CO₂ balance during weathering showed that there is an erosion rate at which CO₂ storage through weathering is maximised.
She learned about topics such as geothermal energy, the geological storage of hydrogen, the GFZ satellite missions, earthquake risk, the use of data cables for seismics and the GFZ spin-off DiGOS.
This is shown by studies on fossil pollen, spores and geochemical data from fossilised soils. They also provide insights into future developments under extreme climatic conditions.
A scientific colloquium provided an opportunity to look back on a successful career and the development of geodesy - from the past to the future.
Ambassador Dr Imomudin Sattorov and his delegation learned about German-Tajik research projects and the GFZ's commitment in Central Asia and discussed the expansion of cooperation.
The ERC Consolidator Grant project “WIRE” will investigate the interaction of ultrafast electrons and plasma waves in the radiation belts around the Earth – also to protect satellites.
Study shows that the continuous discharge of industrial wastewater can trigger earthquakes in fault zones even after 10 years
With satellite data and machine learning methods, it is possible to identify and locate 15 forms of land use – from the cultivation of various crops to pastureland and mining.
Under the motto “Broadening Horizons”, the international scientists will spend three months at the GFZ – funded by the Helmholtz Information and Data Science Acade-my (HIDA).
