It has been exactly one hundred years since Wegener pub- lished his theory of continental drift and laid the groundwork for modern science and plate tectonics. Scientific experts today are still reaping the benefits of Wegener’s research. His research provides geoscientists the basis for gaining new ground from which future generations of researchers will in turn profit. By exploring how human activities affect the earth system, the geosciences deliver crucial information for our daily life. Georesearch is also very important as we look ahead to future challenges – our demand for natural resources and energy, for example. The use of the geological subsurface to store energy and the exploration of the oceans as sources of mineral resources will play a major role in this regard. Knowledge and experience in the geosciences will be more and more in demand in future. That knowledge and experi- ence will also provide the basis for political decision-making processes. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) therefore supports activities in the entire geoscience spectrum. At the same time we also want to expand on Germany’s strong international position in this field. The BMBF’s future funding programme "Georesearch for Sustainability (GEO:N)" will move us nearer to achieving that goal. In addition, conferences such as GeoBerlin 2015 provide the necessary forums for expert exchange. Through discussions about Alfred Wegener’s achievements, GeoBerlin 2015 in particular encourages us to reflect on the successes of georesearch in the past and throughout time. This conference is also an opportunity to devote some thought to the potential of geosciences for the future. May all the conference participants gain interesting input and inspiring new knowledge for their work in the geosciences. Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka Federal Minister of Education and Research 1 Welcome Dear Geoscientists, Exactly 100 years ago the most outstanding German Geoscientist Alfred Wegener published the first edition of his seminal book “Die Enstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane” (“The Origin of Continents and Oceans”). Today we all know that his seminal hypothesis was only accepted once the pieces of the “plate tectonics” puzzle were put together in the 1960’s. Wegener was 50 years ahead of his time. We should never forget that Wegener was a metereologist and astronomist. He pursued his research on the thermodynamcis of the atmosphere and impact craters with as much energy as his development of “continental drift”. In our meeting Dynamic Earth – from Alfred Wegener to today and beyond we will review how Wegener’s findings evolved into to modern Earth system science including its impact on climate and the Earth surface, and how this system affects our daily life: where humans live, what risks we are exposed to, where we find our resources. In the meeting we invite the societies to propose sessions that cover the entire geoscience spectrum (from mineral physics over solid earth geodynamics to the climate sciences). We have invited keynote speakers that are eminent international scientists in these fields. In events open to the general public we will get an account of Wegeners final trip to Greenland on the history of science of his hypothesis. The conference takes place in the Henry Ford Bau of the FU Berlin, is staged by the FU Berlin and GFZ Potsdam, and is supported by the Potsdam-Berlin Geosciences coordination platform Geo.X. It is the joint annual meeting of the Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft / Geologische Vereinigung (DGGV) and the Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft (DMG), The Potsdam-Berlin research platform Geo.X will stage the Geo.X School
