Terrestrial Environmental Observatories

CAOS - catchments as organised systems

Regulators and industries are challenged by the difficulty to analyze and predict the impact of nonlinear environmental processes on short-term and long-term responses of ecosystems to environmental change.

The effect of water storage variations on in-situ gravity measurements and their use for hydrology

This project aims at acquisition, processing and interdisciplinary analysis of high-quality geodetic and hydrological data

GFZ Section 5.4 is involved in MOSES with the modules "Monitoring of water storage changes" and "Water and sediment monitorin" in the event chains "Hydrological extremes" and "Heat waves".

The G3P consortium combines key expertise from science and industry across Europe that optimally allows to (1) capitalize from the unique capability of GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite gravimetry

Regional Research Network “Water in Central Asia”

The research network “Water in Central Asia” is primarily focused on improving the scientific and technical basis of the transboundary water resources management through conducting the state-of-the-art research works, fostering collaboration and experience exchange among the Central Asian and foreign partners.

The aim of this project is to develop a modelling system to produce a coherent regional flood risk assessment covering the whole of Germany.

DFG Research Training Group NatRiskChange - Natural Hazards and Risks in a Changing World

The overall goal of SPATE is a better understanding of relevant processes and causes leading to the occurrence of extreme floods.

Extreme, large-scale river floods typically affect more than one river basin.

Human activities and climate change are rapidly changing the Earth’s surface.

Towards SMART Monitoring and Inegrated Data Exploration of the Earth System - Implementing the Data Science Paradigm

Das Projekt H2020|Insurance hat das Ziel die Verbreitung eines neuen Standards zur Risikokalkulation zu unterstützen....

Improvement of forecasting and management of hydrological extremes

The overall objective of the Catch-Mekong project is to provide innovative research and technologies for a sustainable and transboundary management of the natural water and land resources in the Mekong Delta.

RIESGOS - Multi-risk analysis and information system components for the Andes region

The H2020|Insurance project therefore aims to advance the use of the standardized risk calculation software

Joint research initiative between GFZ, German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany and AXA Global P&C.

The Future Danube model is a multi-hazard and risk model suite for the Danube region that is currently developed comprising of modules for
