Thanks to novel molecular DNA analysis, viable microbes have been detected down to depths of 4.2 metres – with implications also for the search for extraterrestrial life.

In these Italian mountains, CO2 emissions from deep rock are more important than the CO2 balance of weathering on the surface – at least where Earth's crust is thin and the heat flow is high
The first high-precision image of a seismic fault zone changes our understanding of earthquakes
A recently installed monitoring network of seismic sensors in boreholes recorded thousands of earthquake signals – a unique data set for researching the cause of swarm earthquakes.
Experiments at a wind farm in Nauen near Berlin show that man-made buildings have a similar effect to a metamaterial and modify seismic waves.
Hypothetical but not improbable flood scenarios are intended to motivate people and decision-makers in at-risk regions to better prepare for potential extreme events.
The GFZ welcomes Dr. Sarwar Nizam, who is working as a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at GFZ since March.
GRACE-FO data show: Slight recovery compared to drought years, but billions of tonnes of water still missing. New GFZ info portal for background, news & data of the GRACE-FO satellite mission.
The third-generation of the successful satellite duo will continue to measure the Earth's gravitational field and thus provide unique insights into the global water cycle.
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.
