Latest analyses of data from the region since 2014 show signs of precursor phenomena in the form of spatially and temporally clustered quake sequences in the 8 months before the quake

Eight partner institutions, including the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and the Fraunhofer IEG, conclude a cooperation agreement to promote a low-CO2 and import-independent energy supply.

Special fine structures were identified in thousands of tiny zircon crystals using transmission electron microscopy – as evidence in favour of the impact theory.

The ERC Consolidator Grant project “Glass2Melt” will investigate glasses and melts under high pressures and temperatures to create a model of Earth’s ancient magma ocean.

Large new international study combines satellite and ground data

Machine learning helps detect precursor phenomena of earthquakes: A new lab-study provides encouraging results for “time to quake” prediction.
