youtu.be/ncUVrLLPvZ4 Anke Friedrich and Prof. Dr. Celal Şengör on Habertürk TV providing scientific background to the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes LMU Geology (Lehrstuhl für Geologie)

Last week we organized a public scientific lecture about the  causes of the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and their geological context. Thank you to everyone who attended and added to our discussion afterwards!

Translation of original tweet: “This village is about 300 meters from the epicenter of the earthquake. With the principles of science and technology in mind, there will be no fear of #earthquakes. Creating earthquake-resistant settlements is the only way to prevent damage.”

Thank you to the university of Utah U Alumni for honoring Dr. Anke Friedrich with the Alumni award! We are deeply grateful and couldn’t be more proud. youtu.be/PYBedChRL-A

We had very nice 12 days in Las Negras (SE Spain) for a field mapping course for bachelor students. There we mapped Neogene volcanic and carbonate rocks. LMU Geology (Lehrstuhl für Geologie), Simon Kübler

The last two days we were hunting faults in the Bavarian Forest for the start of our new project StruCtiv in cooperation with the LfU.

Thrilled to announce my start as an assistant professor for #sedimentology and #EarthSurfaceProcesses at Universität München Very excited to build a research program and teach new generations of geoscientists.

Next week you’ll find some of us at #EGU23 European Geosciences Union

We had a great time at #EGU23 with lots of inspiring discussions and catching up with colleagues and #lmugeology friends. We’re already looking forward to next year.
