🚨New natural H2 paper alert! ⚒️
Are you curious about the possible role of natural #hydrogen in the energy transition, with some emphasis on the situation in Germany?
This week, a new ESYS paper got published on that exact topic! 😃

4-year PhD position in Geomicrobiology in our #ERCSyg project Archean Park. Come work with us at @gfz.bsky.social and collaborate with @probstlab.bsky.social, @marumunibremen.bsky.social, @uni-muenster.de. Flexible starting date, Application until May 3.
Die meisten tödlichen Erdrutsche passieren in vom Menschen veränderten Umgebungen. 😯
Veränderungen der Landnutzung haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Zahl der Todesopfer durch Erdrutsche, als physikalische Faktoren wie Topografie und Niederschlag – v. a. in Ländern mit niedrigerem Einkommen.
The Einsteinturm (Einstein Tower) is one of many historical buildings and an outstanding piece of architecture. Read more on Erwin Finlay-Freundlich here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_F... 3/3
Finlay-Freundlich carried the double name for his mother Elizabeth Finlayson. He was a friend of Albert Einstein and, as Einstein, Jewish. In 1933, the German Nazi government forced him to leave office and he had to flee with his family. Unlike Einstein, he returned to Germany. 2/3
It‘s the „Café Freundlich“ which translates Café Friendly but the name has a totally different meaning. The building was named „Villa Freundlich“ (Freundlich Mansion) after Erwin Finlay-Freundlich. He was the first director of the Einstein Tower, a solar observatory on our campus. Erwin 1/3
The dataset is created by GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences ( @gfz.bsky.social ).
The new Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies (TWSA) dataset from #Copernicus Climate provides global monthly anomalies in total land water storage (soil moisture, groundwater, surface water, snow and ice) from 2002–2025 at 0.5° resolution.

Große Hörempfehlung für den Podcast von @holgi.bsky.social 👇🏻(for our international friends: sorry, the podcast is in German only).

A lengthwise half cylinder is pulled out of a plastic tube. The half cylinder contains a drill core of black to grey (shaly) rock, broken up in slices. The tube is one of many lying in a orange-blue metal rack.
We were really pleased to find the Ketzin drill cores. At the Pilot Site Ketzin, @gfz.bsky.social conducted a CO2 storage demonstrator, the only #CCS project so far on land in Germany. www.co2ketzin.de/en/home/ documents all steps, including the close dialogue with society and politics 3/3

Two persons stand in front of shelfs of some meters high that contain rectangular boxes of wood and plastic. In these boxes are the drill cores, but these are not visible. Left stands Ralph Watzel, the president of BGR. Right stands Susanne Buiter, the scientific director of GFZ. Both are smiling.
With a delegation of @gfz.bsky.social we visited BGR last week, the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, for our yearly in-depth exchange on geoscience themes. One highlight of many was the visit to the collection in Berlin Spandau: rocks, minerals, fossils and drill cores! 1/3

🚺 Following #InternationalWomensDay on Sunday, the women's network organisers here at PIK and at the
@gfz.bsky.social organised a lunch on the hill for our researchers to exchange perspectives. Thank you to everyone who came and to the organisers for creating the space for exchange!
Worth reading what our GFZ colleague Taylor Schildgen, outgoing Editor-in-Chief of „Tectonics“, and the incoming Giulio Viola have to say about current developments in conducting science in the U.S. and how they reflect on recent years 👇🏻
We’re out and about yet again, this time in the vulcanic Eifel region drilling with Jens Kallmeyer @gfz.bsky.social 🌋

Für unsere deutschsprachigen Freund:innen: ICDP wird heute auf den Tag genau 30 Jahre alt. ICDP steht für International Continental Scientific Drilling Programme und ist am GFZ angesiedelt. Die am weitesten von Potsdam entfernte ICDP-Bohrung? Nicht die in der Antarktis. Wer's wissen will: Im 🧵1/2
4/4 The ICDP borehole farthest away from GFZ was not SWAIS2C in Antarctica (>17,000 km) but the site pictured in the first post, i.e. Whataroa on New Zealand's South Island (18,051 km). In the last 30 years, more than 100,000 metres of core were drilled by ICDP. Read more: www.gfz.de/en/press/new...
