Meeting of the GeoMetEr research group for the development of geophysical measurement methods
Intensive workshop within the GeoMetEr research project to develop geophysical measurement methods for the non-destructive exploration of the subsurface: Around 30 researchers discussed possible geophysical airborne methods, seismic methods and borehole measurements at LIAG on 9 and 10 April. LIAG is the scientific coordinator of the project, which is funded by the Federal Company for Final Disposal.
Researchers in the EU Blue Transition project meet politicians and stakeholders in the Netherlands
Partner meeting with policy week in the EU project Blue Transition (Interreg North Sea Programme) in Assen, Denmark, end of March! The project partners, climate experts, policy makers and stakeholder representatives could discuss the different sustainable strategies of the 16 pilots in six countries on how we can deal with the impacts of climate change in terms of groundwater and soil management in the North Sea region.

DPMA grants LIAG a patent for a measuring cell for determining complex electrical properties of rocks
Researchers in the field of rock physics and borehole geophysics at LIAG have developed a measuring cell for laboratory measurements using the spectral induced polarisation (SIP) method to investigate complex electrical properties of natural solid and unconsolidated rocks with significantly improved quality of results.
Honours at the annual conference of the German Geophysical Society
Michael Grinat receives honorary membership of the German Geophysical Society, the Emil Wiechert Medal goes to long-standing research partner Prof Dr Andreas Weller from TU Clausthal.
Logo-Refresh: LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics
In future, we will operate under our own LIAG brand as the "LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics"! With currently 40 ongoing research projects, the doubling of third-party funding (especially DFG), our own science-oriented administration and the bundling of our methods, we will continue to research the topics of groundwater systems, geohazards and georeservoirs as energy sources and energy storage.
Near-surface geothermal energy in Germany: first traffic light map in GeotIS shows potential for geothermal probes
Wo gibt es Erstinformationen zu den Nutzungspotenzialen und zum Einstieg in die Geothermie? Forschende des LIAG und der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (UGOE) stellen im Geothermischen Informationssystem GeotIS mögliche geothermische Ressourcen dar und zeigen mit Überblickkarten nach Ampelsystem auf, wo Erdwärmesonden zum Heizen und Kühlen von Gebäuden eingebaut werden können.
