World Stress Map Database Release 2025

The World Stress Map (WSM) is a global compilation of information on the crustal present-day stress field. It is a collaborative project between academia and industry that aims to characterize the stress pattern and to understand the stress sources. It commenced in 1986 as a project of the International Lithosphere Program under the leadership of Mary-Lou Zoback. From 1995-2008 it was a project of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities headed first by Karl Fuchs and then by Friedemann Wenzel. Since 2009 the WSM is maintained at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences. The WSM database release 2025 contains 100,842 data records within the Earth’s crust. The data are provided in two formats: Excel-file (wsm2025.xlsx) and comma separated fields (wsm2025.csv). Data records with reliable A-C quality are displayed in the World Stress Map (doi:10.5880/WSM.2025.002). Further detailed information on the WSM quality ranking scheme 2025, guidelines for the analysis of borehole logging data, and software for stress map generation and the stress pattern analysis is available at www.world-stress-map.org. The database structure and content is explained in the WSM Technical Report TR 25-01 (https://doi.org/10.48440/wsm.2025.001).

OBS stations of the GEOSTOR project in the German Bight and in the German Baltic Sea (WMS)

The dataset includes the locations of OBS stations (Ocean Bottom Seismometers) operated in the German Bight during cruise MSM100 with R.V. Maria S. Merian. The time interval from 13.05.2021 to 15.05.2021 has been analysed in a phase without airgun operation for passive recording with 4.5 Hz geophones. Furthermore, the dataset contains locations of 3 broadband OBS systems which were operated during an experiment at the Darss ramp in the German Baltic Sea. The records were analysed in the time interval 23.01.2018 to 01.04.2018.

Higher frequency data products of the International Monitoring System’s infrasound stations

This dataset consists of data products derived from broadband signal detection lists that have been processed for the certified infrasound stations of the International Monitoring System. More specifically, within the CTBT-relevant infrasound range (around 0.01-4 Hz), this dataset covers higher frequencies (1-3 Hz) and is therefore called the ‘hf’ product. The temporal resolution (time step and window length) is 5 min. For processing the infrasound data, the Progressive Multi-Channel Correlation (PMCC) array processing algorithm with a one-third octave frequency band configuration between 0.01 and 4 Hz has been used. The detected signals from the most dominant directions in terms of number of arrivals within a time window and the product-specific frequency range are summarized at predefined time steps. Along with several detection parameters such as the back azimuth, apparent velocity, or mean frequency, additional quantities for assessing the relative quality of the detection parameters are provided. The dataset is available as a compressed .zip file containing the yearly data products (.nc files, NetCDF format) of all certified stations (since 2003). Further information on the processing and details about the open-access data products can be found in: Hupe et al. (2022), IMS infrasound data products for atmospheric studies and civilian applications, Earth System Science Data, doi:10.5194/essd-14-4201-2022

Very low frequency data products of the International Monitoring System’s infrasound stations

This dataset consists of data products derived from broadband signal detection lists that have been processed for the certified infrasound stations of the International Monitoring System. More specifically, this dataset, called the ‘maw’ product, covers a very low frequency range of infrasound (0.02-0.07 Hz). The temporal resolution (time step and window length) is 30 min. For processing the infrasound data, the Progressive Multi-Channel Correlation (PMCC) array processing algorithm with a one-third octave frequency band configuration between 0.01 and 4 Hz has been used. The detected signals from the most dominant directions in terms of number of arrivals within a time window and the product-specific frequency range are summarized at predefined time steps. Along with several detection parameters such as the back azimuth, apparent velocity, or mean frequency, additional quantities for assessing the relative quality of the detection parameters are provided.

Microbarom low-frequency data products of the International Monitoring System’s infrasound stations

This dataset consists of data products derived from broadband signal detection lists that have been processed for the certified infrasound stations of the International Monitoring System. More specifically, this dataset covers the dominant frequency range of microbaroms (0.15-0.35 Hz) and is therefore called the ‘mb_lf’ product. The temporal resolution (time step and window length) is 15 min. For processing the infrasound data, the Progressive Multi-Channel Correlation (PMCC) array processing algorithm with a one-third octave frequency band configuration between 0.01 and 4 Hz has been used. The detected signals from the most dominant directions in terms of number of arrivals within a time window and the product-specific frequency range are summarized at predefined time steps.

Microbarom high-frequency data products of the International Monitoring System’s infrasound stations

This dataset consists of data products derived from broadband signal detection lists that have been processed for the certified infrasound stations of the International Monitoring System. More specifically, this dataset covers, among other phenomena, the upper frequency range of microbaroms (0.45-0.65 Hz) and is therefore called the ‘mb_hf’ product. The temporal resolution (time step and window length) is 15 min. For processing the infrasound data, the Progressive Multi-Channel Correlation (PMCC) array processing algorithm with a one-third octave frequency band configuration between 0.01 and 4 Hz has been used.

DZA short-term seismic network in the Lausitz

A network of 209 continuously running digital seismic stations equipped with short-period geophones (200 stations) and broadband sensors (9 stations) was deployed in an area of ~14 x ~14 km in the Lausitz (Saxony, Germany) for a period of ~5 weeks. The main objectives were 1) to create a 3-D model of the subsurface (shear wave velocity; ambient noise tomography) using the ambient seismic noise field and 2) to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of the seismic noise (and noise sources). The project is related to the preparations for the construction of a ‘Low Seismic Lab’ (as part of the German Center for Astrophysics, DZA) and potentially the Einstein Telescope. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 9I.

INSPIRE: Marine seismic survey profiles for the German EEZ (MSSP-EEZ)

During the period from 1996 to 2007 five cruises operated by BGR acquired seismic lines from the German EEZ. The aim of these expeditions was a detailed survey of the geological structure of the seabed from the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The five GML files (for each cruise one) together with a Readme.txt file are provided in ZIP format (MSSP-EEZ-INSPIRE.zip). The Readme.text file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML files content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements.

Probabilistische Baugrundmodellierung für Planung und Entwicklung von Offshore-Windparks, Teilvorhaben: Daten und Modelle

Fraunhofer IWES steht mit seinen F&E-Aktivitäten für eine Beschleunigung des Ausbaus der Windenergie auf See. Das betrifft die Untergrunderkundung ebenso wie die Aufbereitung & Bereitstellung von Baugrundparametern für das technische Design von Offshore-Gründungsstrukturen. IWES hat im Anschluss an die Entwicklung seismischer Erkundungsmethoden einen Workflow für die integrierte Interpretation der geophysikalischen & geotechnischen Daten entwickelt, und A. um Bodenprofile relevanter Parameter an Lokationen ohne direkte Baugrundaufschlüsse zu erzeugen (synthetische CPT). Der Bedarf an innovativen Lösungen im Bereich der Baugrundmodellierung besteht, wie letzte Ausschreibungen von Behörden wie RVO (= Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland) & d. BSH zeigen. Statistische Analysen sind gefordert, um eine reguläre Nutzung synthetischer Baugrundprofile durch Einsatz zertifizierten Analysewerkzeugs zu ermöglichen. IWES & GuD stellen sich der Herausforderung, anknüpfend an existierende geostatistische Methoden, ein probabilistisches Baugrundmodell zu entwickeln. Dadurch wird eine Quantifizierung aller mit der Beschreibung des Baugrundes assoziieren Unsicherheiten (z.B. Heterogenität des Baugrundes, Messunsicherheiten usw.) erreicht, so dass im Ergebnis an jedem Modellpunkt bemessungsrelevanten Baugrundparameter 'mit Sicherheiten behaftet' abgeleitet werden können. Dazu sind sämtliche input-Größen in das Modell mit Streuungen zu integrieren. Das umfasst geophysikalische & geotechnische Mess- & Versuchsergebnisse sowie Modellunsicherheiten in interpolierten Bereichen. Eine umfassende statistische Analyse aller seismischen & geotechnische Informationen soll es ermöglichen, laterale Änderungen der relevanten geotechnischen Parameter zu quantifizieren. Geplant ist ein dreijähriges Forschungsprojekt durch Fraunhofer IWES & GuD Geotechnik und Dynamik Consult GmbH, mit begleitender Industrie-Arbeitskreis (EnBW, G-tec S.A., Ocean Floor Geophysics, Niedersachsenwasser, BSH und BAW)
