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.

Turbulence creates ice in clouds

The results from Leipzig could help to map an important part of the water cycle better in the weather and climate models in the future by ice formation in…

Is the Baltic Sea at a crossroads?

Can effective marine management mitigate climate change impacts so that the Baltic Sea regains a good environmental status? Can record blue-green algae blooms…

Clay minerals call the shots with carbon

On its way to the oceans, organic matter in sediments binds with clay minerals to form clay-?humus complexes. Once they reach the sea, these complexes sink to…

"Airlift" facility: TU Freiberg tests new mining technology in research and training mine

On the new six-metre-high test rig, researchers at the Technische Universiät Bergakademie Freiberg are testing the transport of the crushed material to the…

Atmospheric pressure impacts greenhouse gas emissions from leaky oil and gas wells

The unintentional leakage of natural gas from oil and gas wells into the surrounding subsurface – known as fugitive gas migration – is a major environmental…

Strong storms generating earthquake-like seismic activity

“We're calling them 'stormquakes,'” said lead author Wenyuan Fan, an assistant professor of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science. “This involves coupling of…
