Happy Pride Month! Here from my office windows at @gfz.bsky.social Very happy to share my windows with this beautiful flag (Reposting as the original was reposted)

Repost (with cropped picture): Happy Pride Month! Our director @susannebuiter.bsky.social will be sharing some of her office's windows with our high-tech flag fixation system. #pragmatism #pride

#Train2EGU I love train rides (and remain optimistic regarding the delay on the first leg Berlin - München) and love even more sharing the train with so many #geoscientists on their way to Vienna for @egu.eu #EGU26! The views are wonderfully summerly. @gfz.bsky.social

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 ⚒️

Happy launch day to @esa.int's GOCE — the satellite that proved Earth isn’t actually round (at least, not to gravity)! Thanks to GOCE, we can visualise the geoid: an irregular, gravity‑shaped surface showing where Earth’s pull is stronger or weaker.

„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.” 👇🏻

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

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/...

“What data gaps and ignorance can we afford as a society?”

Political intervention in the US is jeopardizing scientific structures and data. Among other things, this affects global measurement networks on

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...
