Earth Sciences

Earth Sciences (also referred to as Geosciences), which deals with basic issues surrounding our planet, plays a vital role in the area of energy and raw materials supply.

Earth Sciences comprises subjects such as geology, geography, geological informatics, paleontology, mineralogy, petrography, crystallography, geophysics, geodesy, glaciology, cartography, photogrammetry, meteorology and seismology, early-warning systems, earthquake research and polar research.

New insight into glaciers regulating global silicon cycling

This, say the researchers, could have implications for marine primary productivity and impact the carbon cycle on the timescales of ice ages.

How stressed are coastal seas by humans and climate? Expedition with research vessel SONNE to the South China Sea
