Helmholtz Earth and Environment

With our research, we are working to lay the path towards a future Earth that can sustain human society and the biosphere as a whole.

We take a systemic approach to researching our natural environment; from the land surface and the oceans to the most remote polar regions. After all, it will only be possible to plot a course into a sustainable future with in-depth knowledge of the Earth system, innovative technologies, strategic solutions, and evidence-based recommendations for policymakers.
