The world is changing and society is facing major global challenges. Crises are increasing dramatically and becoming more complex. Securing the supply of raw materials, the effects of climate change and the transformation of the economy and society towards climate neutrality characterise our everyday lives.

As the national geological, geophysical, climatological and meteorological service, GeoSphere Austria is responsible for advising the federal government and warning the public on geological, geophysical, climatological and meteorological matters. GeoSphere Austria contributes, among others, in the following areas:

Disaster Protection

GeoSphere Austria monitors meteorological, climatological, geological and geophysical processes and their effects around the clock. In the event of a crisis, it provides warnings and expert advice.

Climate

The state of the atmosphere over extended periods, from years to millions of years, in interaction with bodies of water, land masses, ice surfaces, and living organisms is referred to as climate. It not only shapes the natural environment but also has a significant impact on society, influencing agriculture, infrastructure, health, and many other areas.

Natural Resources

Our environment offers a multitude of natural resources that are highly important for human needs. With its expertise in the areas of mineral raw materials and water, as well as its services in the field of renewable energy, GeoSphere Austria contributes to the safeguarding and conservation of resources.
