Global Station Networks

Our global measurement networks are a key tool for understanding the Earth system. Among other things, we want to identify and analyse natural hazards and observe the effects of global climate change. The global monitoring networks are modules of the Modular Earth Science Infrastructure (MESI).

GE Seismic Network - GEOFON Global Seismic Network

In 2018 the GEOFON global seismic network consists of more than 80 active high quality stations with real-time acquisition. The network plays a leading role in global real-time seismology providing valuable data for almost all fundamental and applie…
GNSS Station Network

Since the early 1990s, the GFZ has operated a global GNSS station network with currently about 70 stations for precise satellite clock & orbit determination, realization of the terrestrial reference frame, radio occultation measurements or studies o…
Geomagnetic Observatory Niemegk (NGK)

The Adolf-Schmidt-Observatory for Geomagnetism in Niemegk is operated by GFZ since 1992. It belongs to Section 2.3, Geomagnetism. The observatory is located 50km SW of Potsdam. Since 1930 it continues the measurements, that started in Potsdam in 189…
Geomagnetic Observatory Santa Maria (SMA)

INTERMAGNET

INTERMAGNET is an international program to provide quality controlled geomagnetic observatory data through a website and an ftp-server. Both archive and near-real time data are provided. The INTERMAGNET observatories in Niemegk, Wingst, Tristan da C…
Permanent Magnetotelluric Reference Station in Wittstock, Germany

The sources for the magnetotelluric (MT) method are naturally occurring electromagnetic field variations. Electromagnetic currents are excited over a wide frequency range in the earth’s ionosphere by solar activity and global lighting discharges. Wh…
SAGOS - South African Geodynamic Observatory Sutherland

The South African Geodynamic Observatory Sutherland (SAGOS) of GFZ was established during the years 1998 – 2000 based on an Agreement on Cooperative Activities between the National Research Foundation (NRF) and GFZ, signed in August 1998. SAGOS is l…
