AKTERM

An AKTERM is a standardised data format for considering meteorology in dispersion modelling. It covers a one-year period of wind direction, wind speed and dispersion class.

Archeo Prospections®

Archeo Prospections® is ideally suited to cover a wide range of investigation methods. The team has access to an extensive range of instrumentation as well as specialised, in-house developed software for geophysical prospection optimised for imaging structures hidden in the ground.

Climate Change: Talks and Consulting

From the global climate system to urban climate effects, from glacial ice to apricot blossom, we explain the climate in such a way that it is understood and provides a solid basis for decision-making. We combine well-prepared knowledge with locally specific data on climate change and turn it into exciting presentations and concrete, community-specific bases for decision-making.

Climate Risk Analysis

Our climate hazard and risk analyses support companies in identifying and assessing climate-related risks. Based on standardized methods and valid climate data such as ÖKS15, impact chains are developed, and models and expert knowledge are integrated to analyse hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposures - providing a solid foundation for ESG reporting.

Declination Map

Map with isogons (lines with the same magnetic declination values), which describe the difference between the orientation of the compass needle and true north.

Earthquake Expertise

Seismological Expertise determine the effects of earthquakes on structures. For special structures (e.g. dams, SEVESO operations, large infrastructures), additional analyses are often necessary that go beyond the earthquake standard ÖNORM EN 1998-1. The results are the loads from previous earthquakes and the definition of design values and spectra depending on the agreed load case.

Earthquake Information

GeoSphere Austria offers a query of the earthquake catalogue for a specific earthquake event or a defined period. The results are the time, location and magnitude of the quakes. The impact of an earthquake or earthquakes at any location can also be ordered. The result is the local intensity (EMS-98 scale) and a description of the effects on people, objects and buildings.

Earthquake Registrations

GeoSphere Austria has numerous digital recordings of 'strong earthquakes' in Austria and maintains a comprehensive archive of recordings from the seismographs of the time. Depending on the desired period, we offer digital waveform data, peak values and spectra, time series for special load cases and scans or vectorised historical seismograms.

Editorial and Publishing Unit

The GeoSphere Austria publishing house publishes scientific publications of GeoSphere Austria, which are produced by the editorial team.

Environmental Impact Statement – Air and Climate

Projects whose realisation is expected to have a potentially significant impact on the environment must undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in accordance with the EIA Act. The scope of the investigation goes far beyond that of a conventional immission report.

Expedition Weather

GeoSphere Austria provides you with the weather forecasts for the location of your adventure, be it a trekking tour in Peru, a ski tour in Alaska or scaling an 8,000 m peak.

Expert-Portal

The Expert-Portal offers the ability to automatically analyse measured values of various meteorological parameters on a daily basis by address online. For Austria, the parameters lightning, storm, temperature, precipitation and hail can be analysed. Some of these parameters are also available in the Expert-Portal for Germany and Switzerland.

Expertise on Past Weather

What was the weather like yesterday or during another period in the past? Whether expert reports, analyses according to standards or statistical statements on weather events such as storms, thunderstorms or precipitation - we provide reliable information for your individual requirements.

Geophysical Explorations

Subsurface and structural exploration using various geophysical methods for geological and hydrological issues, raw materials, mass movements, archaeology, cavities, landfills, dams, etc.

GRAMM Wind Fields

Preparation and adaptation of GRAMM wind fields in various sizes to the local conditions of a desired planning area for use in GRAL.

Guided Group Tours

Visit GeoSphere Austria with your group or school class.

Immission Report

As part of an immission report, it is determined if the project in question can comply with the statutory immission thresholds (e.g. for nitrogen oxides or fine particulate matter). For this purpose, dispersion calculations are carried out based on the project's emissions.

Internet Weather

Weather forecasts for your website – for your town, for Austria or even the whole world. GeoSphere Austria offers automated weather forecasts based on a weather model for internet-based applications. The product is highly configurable, meaning that the forecasts can be customised to fit your exact requirements.

Library

GeoSphere Austria has the largest Austrian specialised library in the fields of geosciences, meteorology and climatology with significant historical holdings. More than 70,000 articles / books / maps are freely accessible in the sense of OPEN ACCESS.

Load Assessments

Preparation of wind, ice and snow load reports in accordance with current standards.

Magnetic Field Measurements

Changes in the Earth´s magnetic field can be determined using magnetometers and geodetic measurements at locations selected by customers.

Maps and Books

GeoSphere Austria offers a wide range of maps with different scales as well as a variety of print products on a wide range of current and historical geoscientific topics.

Meteorological Measurements

GeoSphere Austria offers meteorological observations to measure local conditions at a site using mobile stations and ground-based remote sensing to record the vertical structure of the atmosphere near the ground.

Monthly Earthquake Report

Automated e-mail containing the monthly earthquake report. The monthly report on earthquakes contains information on earthquakes felt in Austria and relevant earthquakes abroad.
