About this book

Language: German

In Am Puls der Erde, Kiel scientists get to the bottom of natural disasters. They take helicopters to the tops of active volcanoes, research earthquakes and tsunamis, and explore the deep sea with diving robots. They have changed our understanding of the earth with their research. "The ocean floor is being swallowed up", says Peter Linke, one of the authors, "and that's where the world's strongest earthquakes, tsunamis and largest explosive eruptions originate".

The scientists at GEOMAR share their first-hand research, goals, hopes and visions with the reader. "It's the chance to experience their fascination with the earth up close and understand their courage and motivation", writes bestselling author Frank Schätzing about this thought-provoking book that makes science easy to understand.

Summary in German:
Nur aus dem All betrachtet leben wir auf einer ruhigen, blauen Kugel. Unter der Oberfläche unseres Planeten brodelt ein heißer Kern, der Platten kollidieren und Ozeanrücken aufreißen lässt. Die gewaltigen Phänomene zu verstehen, ist seit 2001 das Ziel von rund 120 Wissenschaftlern in Kiel, deren Arbeiten inzwischen weltweit Beachtung finden.

Die Forschergruppen an der Universität Kiel und dem Institut für Meereswissenschaften GEOMAR sind auf der Spur der Klimarückkopplungen und Auslösemechanismen von Naturkatastrophen. Dafür heben sie die Grenzen der wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen auf und gelangen so zu völlig neuen Erkenntnissen - eine Arbeit, die das Wissen über unseren Planeten verändern wird.

Dieses Buch begleitet die Wissenschaftler hautnah auf ihrer Suche nach dem "Puls der Erde". Es nimmt den Leser mit auf wochenlangen Expeditionen und berichten von erstaunlichen Ergebnissen, die vor künftigen Katastrophen schützen können.
