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.

The first complete picture of Arctic sea ice freeze-thaw cycle

… highlights sea ice response to climate change. A new study published in the European Geosciences Union journal The Cryosphere could improve our understanding of changes in the atmosphere–ice–ocean system…

Clouds less climate-sensitive than assumed

Airborne campaign solves parts of the riddle of clouds. In a major field campaign in 2020, Dr. Raphaela Vogel who is now at Universität Hamburg’s Center for Earth System Research…

Strongest Arctic cyclone on record led to surprising loss of sea ice

A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and climate impacts. On top of this…

Finding the pulse of avalanches

– what does this have to do with volcanoes? Despite their differences, cold powder avalanches and hot pyroclastic flows during volcanic eruptions do have a number of things in common,…

Low-cost sensor records the level of rivers

Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a method that allows the water level of rivers to be monitored around the clock. The cost-effective sensor is for instance suitable…

Dust transport in the upper levels of the atmosphere

New study shows that particles from central South America were the main source of iron in the South Pacific during the last two glacial periods. Dust from the dry Puna…
