Seismometers listen to the resonance vibration of the Hochvogel, Allgäu. This allows unique insight to the preparation phase of an upcoming rock slide.

International study in Science provides surprising insights into the limits of life from previously unexplored depths.

GFZ modelling: what to expect in the event of a major earthquake near Cologne contributing to the government’s “Risk Analysis in Civil Protection 2019”.

Data from Greenland and Antarctica show: under ice trace elements are mobilised at higher rates than previously assumed.

The high-pressure mineral Donwilhelmsite is important for understanding the inner structure of the earth.

The combination of smart city lighting and satellite imagery allows measurements of the contribution of street lights to urban lighting for the first time.
