Manuel Recker (manuelrecker.de) hat wunderschöne Graphic Recordings vom Brandenburger Wasserstofftag erstellt. Rechts oben ist meine Begrüßung für @gfz.bsky.social und Rechts unten die Begrüßung durch Minister Keller, MWAEK.

@gfz.bsky.social und das Brandenburger Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit, Energie und Klimaschutz veranstalten heute gemeinsam den Brandenburger Wasserstofftag 2025. Für das GFZ eine Betonung der Wichtigkeit des geologischen Untergrunds als strategische Infrastruktur für die Energiewende

It's Pride Month, and we are overjoyed to share a video series with you featuring our LGBTQIA+ professionals & allies in STEM. Thanks to all for taking part and a special thanks to Katia Jasbinschek Pinheiro for camera, direction, and editing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Qf...

„It was a shock for us in the geosciences,” recalls a colleague, who models tsunamis at the GFZ. “Theoretically, we knew that such severe quakes could occur, but the extent of the rupture zone over more than 1,000 kilometres and the devastating floods in particular took us all by surprise.” 👇🏻

A satellite that comprehends the Earth! 🌍 With EnMAP, Helmholtz (@dlr-en.bsky.social, @gfz.bsky.social) makes environmental changes visible – accurately and globally. From climate effects to soil quality and water: EnMAP delivers the crucial data we need. 🔗 Discover more: t1p.de/knmok #Helmholtz30

The 2004 tsunami showed us the urgent need for an early warning system. @gfz.bsky.social, in collaboration with @dlr-en.bsky.social, @geomarkiel.bsky.social, @awi.de and Hereon, created GITEWS – now known as InaTEWS. And the research goes on. 🔗 Learn more about it here: t1p.de/43v62 #Helmholtz30

Climate knowledge needs to make an impact where it matters most: In politics. In society. @helmholtzklima.bsky.social brings together research & decision-makers – with a focus on facts, transparency, and open dialogue. Discover more here: t1p.de/snpci #Helmholtz30

For our international friends: Today we had the pleasure of hosting Annalena Baerbock, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Member of Parliament for the Potsdam constituency. She had helped us secure funding for the restoration of the historic Helmert Tower. Background: www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

Much enjoying the presentations today by the Doctoral Candidates in the @talents-dn.bsky.social network. So much already achieved in just a year! Check the posts by @derekkeir.bsky.social to see all Doctoral Candidates

Morgen schon was vor? Wer in der Nähe von #Potsdam ist, ist herzlich eingeladen, zum Potsdamer Tag der Wissenschaften #PTdW25 zu kommen. Wir sind auch dort: www.gfz.de/presse/meldu...

If you are asking what kind of science we can afford, you've got it wrong. It's the other way round: What kind of ignorance & data gaps do we want to accept? Read how political intervention in the US jeopardises science & data by @susannebuiter.bsky.social 👇 www.helmholtz.de/en/newsroom/...

Great Debate 8 at #EGU25 "Publish or Perish in the Open Access Era" bringing up the 'vicious' cycle of publishing. Looking forward to the discussions this morning @egu.eu

Solid Earth is 15 years! Come celebrate with us at #egu25 on Thursday 1 May 2025 18:00-19:00 at Coffee spot X3 (at -2.21). Lotte, Florian and me will be happy to answer any questions on publishing in our open access journal and most of all of course to celebrate! @egu.eu & Copernicus Publications

#Train2EGU! Much enjoying the train journey Berlin-Vienna with many @gfz.bsky.social colleagues on our way to #egu25! @egu.eu #GreenEGU

Series of strong earthquakes shake Istanbul region. We recorded the strongest shock with a magnitude of 6.2 this morning, the strongest in 25 years. Read more here: www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

This #EarthDay EGU joins our siblings and friends around the world to make a single statement, to continue to work towards a just and sustainable future, powered by transparent scientific research, conducted by our diverse scientific communities. #EarthDay2025

"Make better use of the underground" is the encouragement of @gfz.bsky.social following the @dvgeo.bsky.social position paper "Emerging Fields in the Geosciences" emphasising the vital role of the #geosciences in addressing the urgent challenges of our time. Link: e-docs.geo-leo.de/entities/pub...

We have updated our webpage with our latest findings for the Myanmar earthquake from March 28, 2025. We also have preliminary results from satellite images showing the ground movements. Several of our colleagues were working on some quick results which may be updated 1/6 www.gfz.de/presse/meldu...

Very bad news from #Myanmar where a 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook the region near Mandalay. For a comparison: This is the about the same strength as the devastating quakes in Türkiye and Syria in 2023. We will update our pages for more information soon. www.gfz.de/en/press/ear...

Hier ist Helmholtz KLIMA, die Dialog-Plattform der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft @www.helmholtz.de. Give them a follow!

And of course, there’s an English version as well for our Q&A about #Santorini 👉🏻 www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

GeoMOD 2025 is now open for pre-registration. Visit geomod2025.com and learn about the program, cost estimates, and important dates. We hope to see you in Lisbon in September! #geomod #geomod2025 #geodynamicmodelling #geology #tectonics #geodynamics #IDL-LA #tectonicmodelling #fcul #ciencias

We have a new logo and a new name. To make it easier to spell and get the German name more aligned with the English one: GFZ Helmholtz-Zentrum für Geoforschung | GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences. Happy New Year to all of our followers and friends 🍀

OTD twenty years ago the 3rd strongest earthquake ever recorded by seismometers struck offshore the island of Sumatra. A tsunami followed killing more than 200,000 people. In the aftermath we helped develop a tsunami warning system for the region. Read more here: www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...

We hold a different kind of workshop at @gfz.bsky.social today discussing how to communicate #geology behind natural disasters as #earthquakes. The professionalism required for media communication can be hard personally during large casualty events. With @jbirken.bsky.social @fischblog.bsky.social
