Why are the tectonically stable core areas of the continents gradually rising? How do some of the most distinctive landforms on our planet form?

From 22 to 24 October, the industry's largest event will take place in Potsdam for the first time. The GFZ will be the scientific partner of the organising Bundesverband Geothermie e.V.

Using simulation and AI, it was possible for the first time to break down the mass change responsible for polar movement into individual components – including the melting of large ice masses.

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.
