Application

The application for both onshore and offshore seismometer is possible by a PDF form. Researchers from German universities or research institutions are eligible to apply. Researchers from foreign institutes need a German cooperation partner who must be the main applicant. The main applicant is responsible for all administrative procedures such as signing the loan agreement and preparing the necessary paperwork for export and transport. Commercial users please contact the pool directly. Please complete the form and send it back together with a short project summary (1-2 pages, pdf-file). The summary should include a description of the scientific objectives, a station map, a timeline and information about funding and ship time. Your request will then be evaluated by the external steering board and the internal advisory board. The final decision will be made by the GFZ executive board (onshore stations) or the AWI directorate (OBS). The steering committee meets twice a year, the next meeting will be held in March 2025. Please submit your application until 10. February 2025.
