The project GeoClim is embedded in the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) research project MiKlip (Decadal Predictions) in Module E: Validation.

MANTIS is a project in a DFG Priority Program SPP 1788: "Study od Earth dynamics with a constellation of potential field missions" which is designed around the ESA magnetic field satellite mission SWARM.

The main goal of the study is calculation of the lithospheric stress field of Europe taking into account all the major factors. This shall be done by means of 3D high-resolution thermo-mechanical and density model of the lithosphere coupled with the global mantle convection model.

By utilizing high-resolution atmospheric data from numerical weather prediction models provided by different international modelling centres, we will re-assess the relevant excitation mechanisms of the variable Earth rotation on diurnal and sub-diurnal periods.

At the end of the nominal five-year mission period of GRACE-FO in May 2023, the European Space Agency (ESA) will cover the financing of mission operations for the twin satellites. Since 2021, ESA has been financing already accompanying work on the scientific evaluation of mission data.

The German climate modelling initiative (PalMod II) is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF) through the Research for Sustainability (FONA) as a follow-up-project to PalMod. The project aims to simulate a complete glacial-interglacial cycle using complex Earth system models.

The project aims at parametrising and validating a viscoelastic earth model for applications in earth-system models, which are applied in the national paleo climate modelling initiative PalMod (https://www.palmod.de/de). PalMod is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF) (http://www.bmbf.de/en/index.html) to understand climate system dynamics and variability during the last glacial cycle.

The project investigates the interrelation of climate variability/climate change and the variations in the Earth Rotation Parameters (ERPs) on interannual to decadal time scales.

Recom is a project in a DFG Priority Program SPP 1375: "South Atlantic Margin Processes and Links with onshore Evolution" (SAMPLE).

Antarctic ice-mass balance estimates from GRACE are highly contaminated by mass redistribution in the Earth's mantle associated with glacial-isostatic adjustment (GIA). Improving GIA corrections by integration of constraints recently available from GRACE and ICESat, as well as paleo sea-level indicators, into advanced three-dimensional global viscoelastic earth modelling is aim of this project.
