GFZ Potsdam

GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the prestige national research center for Earth Sciences in Germany and member of the Helmhotlz Association. We investigate “System Earth“ at locations all over the world with all the geological, geodetic, geophysical, geochemical and biological processes which occur at its surface and in its interior.

The goal of our interdisciplinary research is to understand these processes on all scales of time and space, whether they occur at the level of atoms and molecules or galaxies, and independently of whether they take place faster than the blink of an eye in nanoseconds or if they happen infinitely slowly over billions of years. We not only investigate the processes within the planet itself, but also study the multitude of interactions between solid earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the inhabited world. We also analyze how man, living at the Earth's surface, affects our planet. In sum, our research deals with the entire "Earth System" including the influence of mankind.
