EU funds research project for water and soil management in the North Sea region in times of climate change with over 4.5 Mio. EUR
Groundwater and soil resources of the North Sea region are under pressure from climate change, human use and the resulting landscape changes. The "Blue Transition" project focuses on sustainable water and soil management to strengthen the resilience of the North Sea region.
DESMEX-REAL project: Start of the geophysical flight campaigns in the West Harz region
Ore deposits in the Western Harz: In the period from 06 to 23 September 2022, the DESMEX-REAL project partners will conduct helicopter flights for geophysical exploration of the subsurface and invite the public to an information event in Lautenthal. The LIAG creates 3-D models of the electrical conductivity and coordinates measurements on the ground.
HyAfrica investigates natural hydrogen in Africa as an alternative energy source
The HyAfrica project is exploring deposits of natural hydrogen in several African countries to provide alternative energy for local areas. The long-term joint research and innovation partnership between the European Union and the African Union in the field of renewable energy (LEAP-RE) is funding the project with a budget of almost one million euros. In Germany, the Fraunhofer IEE and the LIAG are significantly involved.
Climate change and early humans: Volkswagen Foundation funds innovative research network with 1.6 million euros
Every year, the state of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation fund outstanding scientific projects with the "Niedersächsisches Vorab". Now a special network of state-wide research competencies has been selected, in which natural science meets the humanities.
Great interest at the open day
At the open day, LIAG researchers gave a hands-on demonstration of how they use their geophysical measurement technology - some of which they developed themselves - to get to the bottom of socially relevant questions on the research topics of groundwater, geohazards, geothermal energy and climate and landscape change.
Study recommends immediate expansion of geothermal energy in Germany
Independence from natural gas imports: Meta-study on the potential of geothermal energy as a renewable energy and as a substitute for fossil fuels in the heat supply in Germany makes it clear that without immediate measures to expand geothermal energy, it is not possible to build up the eco-heat sector to achieve the national climate protection goals.
