Funded by DAAD, KIT lecturers conduct a Summer School on the topic of "Modern Seismology: Applications from geothermal to natural hazards" in Indonesia, between 8 and 19 April, 2019. Participants from five different universities are taking part in this Summer School which aims to attract qualified foreign students and doctoral candidates, provides professional training, and makes cultural exchange between participants possible. Thus, also 7 students from GPI are able to join the international Summer School which is held on Bali, Lombok and Java.

In der Wissenschaftssendung nano wurde über das DEEP-TEE Projekt
(Deep Eifel Earthquakes Project - Tiefe Eifel Erdbeben) berichtet. J. Ritter
erklärt darin die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu den lokalen tiefen Mikrobeben

Wissenschaftler von GPI und anderen Forschungseinrichtungen präsentieren erstmals Hinweise auf von Magmabewegungen verursachte tiefe und niedrigfrequente Erdbeben unter dem Laacher-See-Vulkan.

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) offers a two year Master's program in Geophysics. It is given in English and includes topics on Earthquake and Exploration Seismology as well as Natural Hazards. Teaching takes place in small groups and In Situ Lectures are taught right on site at geophysically fascinating locations. To enter the Master's program you need a solid background in mathematics and physics.
