organisation profile
- The GFZ is the national research center for Earth Sciences in
Germany. We investigate “System Earth“ at locations all over the world
with all the geological, physical, chemical 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 analyse 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.
