News and Events A new type of Earthquake has been discovered! Newly discovered seismic events are slower than conventional earthquakes. Their existence supports a geoscientific theory for which there have been hardly any measurement results so far. Learn more (In German) News and Events Boron isotopes help to trace fluid processes in subduction zones Our very own Hans-Peter Schertl (left) hopes to discover more about subduction fluids using B-isotopes Learn more Project ZoKrateS Germany's first Hot-Dry-Rock Well successfully stimulated As part of project ZoKrateS, a natural fracture network was hydraulically stimulated in several zones with great success. The significance of the innovative borehole development and the measurement results are...
