FAQ Overview
heatflow.fellowship program
Does a fellow need a German bank account for reimbursement processes?
No, its not mandatory.
However, please take into account that the fellowships are granted under EU/German travel reimbursement law. The GFZ is organizing the administrative process. If GFZ is not possible to connect to your bank, we cannot reimburse your travel costs. Your bank institute at least should provide SWIFT information, like:
- US Bank
- Country: USA
- Account holder name
- Account number: 1234XXXXXXXX
- SWIFT NUMBER: USABCD33ABC
- ROUTING NUMBER: 123456789
If your bank institute is located in Europe, IBAN, BIC and account holder name are sufficient.

Are the accommodation costs paid directly by the fellows?
No, the accommodation costs are paid by the GFZ Potsdam. This is independent of where the fellows are hosted.
Fellows are in charge for organising the accomodation (with the help of the hosting scientists). Independently of the actual hosting institute, each fellow requires the status of a guest researcher at GFZ Potsdam to allow the GFZ to process the payments.
The GFZ Potsdam (as entinity who is doing the financial transactions for the IHFC) must be named in the renting contract for the accomodation! Please make sure that the invoice/contract for the fellow’s accommodation is issued to the GFZ.
Please use the following information:
Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences
Scientist’s name
Telegrafenberg
14473, Potsdam, Germany
Please, ensure also, that the invoice considers, if applicable:
1. Complete name and complete address of the performing company
2. Tax number or value-added tax identification number of the performing company
3. Issuance date
4. Invoice number
5. Amount and type of the delivered items or extent and type of other performance
6. Time of renting
7. The charges, broken down by tax rates
8. The tax rate to be applied, as well as the amount of tax due on the chargesAuthor: hf_howto_admin

Does a fellow need a Euro currency bank account in her/his country to refund of travel grant?
No, a Euro currency bank account is not required.
However, the overall reimbursement will be processed in Euro and then transfered to the fellows account.

How can I find student housing, shared flats, etc ? and what is the approximate average monthly rent?
The following contact points can help with organizing an accomodation:
Potsdam, Germany (GFZ Potsdam)
- Welcome Center Potsdam
- Write an email to gfz-l@gfz-potsdam.de and ask the GFZ colleagues directly for support.
Paris, France (Sorbonne University)
Ensenada, Mexico (CICESE)
Genoa, Italy (DISTAV)
Denver, USA (SMU)
Melbourne, Australia (University of Melbourne)
Nanjing, China (Nanjing University)

When can a fellow get payment for the living expenses? At the end of each month or at the end of her/his visit
Independent of the hosting institutions, the GFZ is processing the reimbursements. The payment will be ususally proceeded toward the end of the fellowships. However, if an intermediate payment is urgently required, please contact the GFZ members.Author: hf_howto_admin

Latitude (lat) is a geographic coordinate that specifies the North–South (NS) position of a point on the planetary's surface. The Equator has a latitude of 0°, the North Pole has a latitude of 90° North (written +90), and the South Pole has a latitude of 90° South (written −90). Numeric values (2 digits) with 5 decimal places are used for this database item instead of the N or S format (e.g., -80.00000 instead of 80° S). |

| Value description |
‘Recorded’ means determinations under true conditions at target depths (e.g. sensing in boreholes). ‘Replicated conditions’ means determinations where the conditions at target depths are replicated under laboratory conditions. ‘Corrected conditions’ means determinations under laboratory pT conditions that were corrected to conditions at target depths. ‘Actual’ means the condition at the respective depth of the heat-flow interval. |

How / in what order should I add the data If multiple corrections (sedimentation, erosion etc.) were applied (sedimentation, erosion etc.) on it?
Ideally, each correction should have its own child entry. The corrected heat flow would pass onto the parent level.

What should I do if there are multiple heat flow data from different papers for the exact location?
Each sensing for the same location represents on child element. The "best" child heat flow value represents the parent level. This value consists of one or multiple (different papers) child elements. If data is repeated in several papers the primaery publication would represent the parent level heat flow value.

What should I do for the date of acquisition if it was not clarified in the paper (for example if it was given as between the years of 1991-1995, or summers of the 2010-2011-2012.
The first mentioned date should be taken. E.g., 1991-01 and 2010-01 for the above examples.

The mean TC value is estimated using the lithologies of the borehole. What is the TC source and location?

Some of the mean TC values are calculated using part measured, part estimated from lithology sections of the borehole. How should I indicate that?
Source: [Assumed from literature];[Core sample] you can use both or more but separate them by a semi colon please.
