We have a new logo and a new name. To make it easier to spell and get the German name more aligned with the English one: GFZ Helmholtz-Zentrum für Geoforschung | GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences. Happy New Year to all of our followers and friends 🍀

OTD twenty years ago the 3rd strongest earthquake ever recorded by seismometers struck offshore the island of Sumatra. A tsunami followed killing more than 200,000 people. In the aftermath we helped develop a tsunami warning system for the region. Read more here: www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...

We hold a different kind of workshop at @gfz.bsky.social today discussing how to communicate #geology behind natural disasters as #earthquakes. The professionalism required for media communication can be hard personally during large casualty events. With @jbirken.bsky.social @fischblog.bsky.social

Yesterday, we had an inspiring debate on “Natural Hazards & Climate Change” at the #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit24 in Berlin! With our Scientific Director @susannebuiter.bsky.social, GFZ earthquake expert Marco Bohnhoff, Andreas Märkert (Hannover Re/Insurance) & MdB Thomas Heilmann (CDU, KlimaUnion).

Very happy to announce that @gfz.bsky.social has now joined the “Declaration on Research Assessment” DORA, @dorassessment.bsky.social More on why we joined and a sneak preview to our intention to sign #CoARA in Spring 2025 in the press release at this link: www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...

⚒️ the 20th anniversary of CAIAG - Central Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences - celebrates #geoscience collaborations in Central Asia, a tectonically fascinating region where impacts of #climate change are pronounced. @gfz.bsky.social is looking forward to the next 20 years of joint research!

#MinCup24 ⚒️🧪🖖🏼 geology #WomenInStem After a hard-fought, record-breaking battle, the winner of Mineral Cup 2024 is Rhodochrosite! The light-hearted campaign brought home the bacon, and it couldn’t have been more tasty. Kudos to #TeamKyanite; well done! More to follow this post.

@talents-dn.bsky.social kick-off meeting is bringing our 12 doctoral candidates to the lovely rift tectonics and geomorphology of the Gulf of Corinth. In the back of the photo is the Platanos Gilbert delta, illustrating uplift with minimum of 1.1 mm/yr

#MinCup24 ROUND 1 MATCH 1: Kaolinite vs Abelsonite www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r1... It’s the many-times-returning classic clay going against a quirky newcomer of mysterious origins. Go on, learn, share, & VOTE!

@gfz.bsky.social, TIIAME in Tashkent, and partners today organise the 7th Tashkent Water Security Lectures in the wonderful Embassy of Uzbekistan in Berlin. Water Security is a pressing issue, but the message of collaboration across borders is a hopeful one

Got the wonderful opportunity to see again the Boccheggiano Fault and show it to @susannebuiter.bsky.social , Florian Fusseis and their wonderful Aachen class! Hope you all had a safe return home! #geoscientists #fieldtrip #fieldwork #geology ⚒️

Happy Birthday, Grundgesetz! Unser GG wird 75 und wir gratulieren. Denn: Wissenschaft braucht Freiheit. Und das GG ist der Garant dafür. Das Foto zeigt unsere Wissenschaftliche Vorständin @susannebuiter.bsky.social #WissenschaftinFreiheit

Hochwasservorhersage verbessern: Gemeinsam mit Kolleg:innen unseres Schwesterzentrums UFZ haben unsere Forschenden ein Vorhersagemodell entwickelt, das nicht nur Wasserstände an Pegeln, sondern auch dynamische hochaufgelöste Überflutungskarten rasch bereitstellt. www.gfz-potsdam.de/presse/meldu...

Fünf Follower Fun Fact Fact 1: Wer @realscide.bsky.social nicht kennt, sei informiert, dass dort versprochen wurde, je fünf Follower mehr fürs GFZ von hier aus eine interessante und möglichst unterhaltsame Information gegeben wird. Wir haben bei 538 Followern angefangen und sind jetzt bei 548. 1/n

Auch das ist Teil der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit: Kollegin Annabel (l.) erklärt Oberbürgermeister Mike Schubert (r.) & unserer wissenschaftlichen Vorständin @susannebuiter.bsky.social (M.) ihre Arbeit in d Erdbeben-Forschung. Nach dem VIP-Rundgang macht Annabel ganz normal Standdienst & erklärt Erdbeben

The Potsdam Day of Science #PTDW2024 starts at 1 pm on 4 May on the Telegrafenberg with a colourful programme from all areas of research. Come with curiosity & your questions! Everyone is welcome! @gfz.bsky.social has 27 stations of the 150 www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...

Congratulations Anne Glerum (@gfz.bsky.social) with the Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award of the Geodynamics Division of @eurogeosciences.bsky.social! A wonderful lecture on georesource production in geidynamic experiments #EGU24

Congratulations again to Claudio Faccenna of @gfz.bsky.social for being awarded the @eurogeosciences.bsky.social Arthur Holmes Union Medal at #EGU24 today and for a wonderful lecture on links between orogeny and mantle dynamics!

#EGU24 Come and debate with us in GDB1 today: were plate motions constant through geological time? 14:00 in E1

#EGU24 Kicking off the first Great Debate on an issue that concerns us all: "The EU Critical Raw Materials act - how geoscientists can directly inform European policy and regulation." With Simona Regenspurg from @gfz.bsky.social

Arrived! #train2EGU Much looking forward to the coming days at @eurogeosciences.bsky.social General Assembly #EGU24

"CCS ist keine Universallösung für den Klimaschutz", sagt unsere wissenschaftliche Vorständin @susannebuiter.bsky.social im Interview mit Spektrum der Wissenschaft. Gleichwohl kann CCS Beiträge zum Klimaschutz leisten. Mehr hier >> www.spektrum.de/news/ccs-ist...

Hier noch einmal, damit es nicht untergeht (wir hatten das bereits über die Kolleg:innen vom KIT geteilt): Die Stellungnahme der Allianz der Wissenschaftsorganisationen zu rassistischen Äußerungen der vergangenen Wochen – www.allianz-der-wissenschaftsorganisationen.de/themen-stell...

Potsdam's Lord Mayor, and other institutions, universities & research institutes, call for participation in a demonstration for democracy & against fascist plans, recently discussed at a clandestine meeting in Potsdam, to deport people. Please join us this Sunday! www.potsdam.de/de/potsdam-w...

For people in Potsdam: will you join us this Sunday, 14.01, in “Potsdam wehrt sich!”? The demonstration responds to a recent meeting in Potsdam where deportation of people was discussed. I feel that a line was crossed and i therefore join the call to support democracy.

How can we help each other not to make the same mistakes in research? What can we learn from failed models and negative results? If you would like to share your experiences, please consider submitting your 2nd #EGU24 abstract to EOS2.8 (PICO): meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio... ⚒️

We also have a nice new sub-website dedicated to geoenergy! Unfortunately, up to now it is only in German. www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/presse/sp...

Today we sign the cooperation agreement for the Geoenergie Allianz Berlin Brandenburg. The alliance will strengthen collaborations between science, industry, society and politics on our common road towards renewable energy sources @gfz.bsky.social #Fraunhofer IEG and several more partners

Brandenburg als Wasserstoffspeicherland? @gfz.bsky.social sieht Speicher als "unerlässlich" an. Besonders Porenspeicher im Untergrund sind geeignet. Sie sind in Brandenburg weit verbreitet und besitzen weit größere Kapazitäten als in Salzkavernen mwae.brandenburg.de/sixcms/detai...

The European Geosciences Union EGU just published that our senior researcher Claudio Faccenna, head of our section "Lithosphere Dynamics" will be honored with the Arthur Holmes Medal. Congratulations to Claudio! if you are interested in his work look here: www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/section/l...

Strong pleas at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin by Johan Rockström @pik-potsdam.bsky.social and Lars Peter Riishøjgaard WMO: it's time to push the panic button and act to bring CO2 levels down. All regulations are in place, but have not impacted CO2 increase. Can COP28 move to mitigation?

Heute startet die #BerlinScienceWeek – und am Samstag, 4. November, sind wir live dabei mit einem Vortrag über Erdbeben im Labor und in der Natur (13.30 Uhr, im Museum für Naturkunde). Der Eintritt ist frei! Hier nähere Informationen: berlinscienceweek.com/event/erdbeb...

Great news: Two of our researchers, Thomas Walter and Jens Kallmeyer, each were awarded ERC Synergy Grants for their projects concerning #volcanoes and ancient #bacteria As soon as we have uploaded the news on our website we'll post the link with detailed information. Congrats to Thomas and Jens!

#Netherlands and #Germany meeting at the Dutch embassy today to discuss ‘International cooperation in science and higher education: how to keep it safe'. A drive towards openness was shared, with a struggle with the limits to this openness. With ministers Dijkgraaf and @starkwatzinger.bsky.social

Hi there, here we are. We will post once in while about our science, our campus cat named Einstein, and life on Telegrafenberg in Potsdam but first we'll try to gather fellow geoscientists, Earth enthusiasts, and science communication people. Glad if you point us to interesting people!

⚒️ Where to with the CO2? On behalf of GFZ i argued yesterday evening that avoiding emissions has the priority, with second best putting CO2 back where it came from: the subsurface. As transition technology on our path to renewable energies and for those emissions that cannot be avoided.

The new issue of the GFZ journal is out! If you read German, you are in for a great read on "Resource, Regulator, Risk: Water in System Earth". Open access at systemerde.gfz-potsdam.de ⚒️ #geoscience

Hi everyone - i have just moved here (thank you @zzsylvester.bsky.social!) and would be happy for any tips of #geoscience accounts or feeds to follow
