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.
Seismologists use supercomputer to reveal complex dynamics of multi-fault earthquake systems. On the morning of July 4, 2019, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Searles Valley in California’s Mojave Desert,…
Acoustic signals can be effectively used for monitoring glacial runoff and provide a cheaper and more accessible alternative to existing methods. Glaciers have been melting and shrinking at an alarming…
… found to disrupt satellite signals halfway around the world. An international team has used satellite- and ground-based ionospheric observations to demonstrate that an air pressure wave triggered by volcanic…
Earth scientists identify pivotal step in the Earth’s later climate development. Approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. Contemporaneous with this exceptionally…
Leipzig University presents LexCube 3D visualisation. Researchers from Leipzig University will present an interactive digital cube that can visualise climate data from anywhere in the world in space and time…
An international team including Simon Steidle from the Quaternary Research Group at the Department of Geology at the University of Innsbruck has reconstructed the evolution of groundwater in the Great…
