The GFZ was the main scientific partner. GFZ researchers Lioba Virchow and Mikhail Tsypin won the poster competition for young scientists, Johannes Hart reached the final.

35 of 197 coastal structures examined on the barrier islands off Miami sank by up to eight centimetres in 2016-2023 – presumably due to the compaction of sand layers in the underground.

The Nepalese Foreign Minister Dr Arzu Rana Deuba visited the GFZ. In focus: cooperation on an innovative early warning system for natural disasters such as glacier and landslides.

It provides important information for the construction of Berlin's largest heat storage facility in Adlershof. The aim is to store heat from renewable sources underground in summer for use in winter.

The GFZ mourns the loss of Achim Ohlert (née Morschhauser). The colleague from Section 2.3 ‘Geomagnetism’ died on 9 November 2024 at the age of 41 after a long illness.

The aim of her ERC Consolidator Grant project EXCURSION: The first data-based model of the Earth's magnetic field over the last 780,000 years, focussing on periods of magnetic weakness.

The former post-doc from the ‘Earthquake Hazards and Dynamic Risks’ section will investigate the complex dynamics of the growing risk of landslides, particularly for tropical cities.

The long-term goal is an early warning system for all natural hazards and all the people on earth. Interview with Abror Gafurov on the occasion of the COP29 in Baku.

She was awarded the International Hydrology Prize by the IAHS, UNESCO and WMO for her work on analysing and managing flood risks at a conference in Brazil.

The IHK Potsdam honoured the most successful trainees of the year. Noah Schmidt completed his apprenticeship as an electronics technician at GFZ with an outstanding exam. Congratulations & interview
