Geophysical exploration of raw materials
Aerial survey with drones in Spain successfully completed: The LIAG, in cooperation with the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster, has carried out another aerial survey for the exploration of ore deposits using the novel semi-airborne electromagnetics method in the joint project DESMEX II until the end of May 2022.
New approach determines neotectonic activity on concealed faults - significance for earthquake hazard maps
Researchers at the LIAG and the Leibniz University of Hannover have developed an approach to detect the connection between disaggregation bands - centimetre-thick zones of deformed sediments - and the neotectonic activity of hidden faults in the subsurface.
Researchers install underground measuring system on Spiekeroog beach
On the North Sea coast off Spiekeroog, the DynaDeep research project has installed the SAMOS saltwater monitoring system developed at LIAG directly on the beach. The aim of the project is to install an underground measuring field to investigate the transition zones between the groundwater aquifers on high-energy beaches and the sea.
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.
LIAG publishes Research Report 2021
In around 110 pages, the Research Report 2021 once again presents a selection of exciting highlights and project activities in the context of geophysical research into groundwater, geohazards, geothermal energy and climate and landscape change.
Geothermal energy expertise of the LIAG in the First German Television
How can Germany become climate neutral and what options are there to accelerate independence from Russian energy imports? In an interview with Anja Martini from Tagesschau from the First German Television, Prof. Dr. Inga Moeck from LIAG discusses what contribution geothermal energy can make to the energy transition.
