ROTTnROCK is a 6-year research project funded by the ERC (Synergy). The ROTTnROCK team studies hydrothermal alteration, which develops progressively and imperceptibly at a given volcano and may be responsible for unexpected volcanic hazards.

The main objective of this proposal is to resolve and characterize small scale P- and S-wave velocity anomalies in the upper crust beneath the phonolitic centres of the East Eifel Volcanic Field, where a scientific drilling proposal is suggested (ICDP-EIFEL).

MULTI-MAREX will establish a living lab for the investigation of marine geological extreme events and associated hazards in Greece. MULTI-MAREX will not only characterize geological processes such as seaquakes, volcanism, but also flank stability and tsunamis more clearly, but also ensure more effective early warning.

The DEGREE project aims to estimate the combined probability of occurrence of prospective systems, their recoverability and their productivity through joint modelling and integration of a range of geoscientific data.

One of the main goals of the project is to understand the cause of earthquake swarms in the NW Bohemia/Vogtland region and the role of fluids or magmas. We want to investigate temporal changes of earthquake swarms and compare them with models for the formation of earthquake swarms.

In order to better understand the magmatic system of the Eifel, an extensive seismological experiment was planned from September 2022. The measurements were completed at the beginning of September 2023. In the next phase, the data will be analysed. The results of the experiment will be made available once they have been analysed.

To study earthquake swarms, crustal fluid flow, mantle-derived CO2 and helium degassing, and processes of the deep biosphere, a new geodynamic multi-parameter in situ laboratory at depth is being established in the framework of the ICDP project “Drilling the Eger Rift”.

Multi-risk assessment and cascading effects analysis conducted as part of a cooperation between Indonesia and Germany - Joint research on tsunamis induced by volcanoes and landslides.
