Since its establishment in 1990 the department of Marine Geodynamics has become a world leader in marine geophysics with an emphasis on subduction zone processes. We investigate these processes on all geological scales and in close collaboration with our colleagues in volcanology and geochemistry. During the past 10 years we have broadened our portfolio by moving away from subduction zone processes and into new fields such as fluid migration in passive margins, geohazards and seismic oceanography.
These days we are working on question as diverse as:
Scientists of the department are researching in the following working areas to find the answers of these questions:
