Research Projects

Together with their international partners, scientists and scholars at the University of Potsdam are conducting research on the genesis, structure and dynamics of our home planet. Research questions range across a broad spectrum, from microscopic crystalline structures and micro-organisms to the movements of titanic continental plates; from the deepest depths of the earth and processes in the earth's core, to observations of our planet from space; from spontaneous events that occur within just a few milliseconds, to processes that require millions of years until their full impact is felt.
