The new TrueTriax high-pressure testing system can simulate a wide range of processes on rock samples down to 10 km depth. This provides important data for geoenergy research & applications.

Sediment cores off the Nile mouth reveal insights into effects and causes of heavy rainfall episodes about 9,000 years ago. That will help to prepare for weather extremes in a changing climate.

Q & A on extreme water events in Germany from GFZ and UFZ experts

President Ram Chandra Paudel and his delegation informed themselves about current and possible future cooperations between Nepal and the GFZ against the background of increasing climate change.

German-American space dialogue underlines the importance of the “spirit level in space”. The third generation of the satellite duo is currently being planned.

Land uplifts at subduction zones are the result of thousands of small quakes. This makes it possible to estimate the size of locked plate areas and the location and strength of future large quakes.

Rising sea levels increase the pressure on tectonic faults and lead to changes in their seismic cycles – leading to an increasing number of earthquakes particularly in the world's coastal regions.

Analysis of satellite data shows that large parts of the country are affected by ground subsidence.

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
