Ensemble Simulations of Atmospheric Angular Momentum and its Influence on the Earth’s Rotation
(2009-01-21)
The exchange between angular momentum of the solid portion of the Earth and of the atmosphere plays a vital role in exciting small but measurable changes in the rotation of our planet. Recent improvements in geodetic data ...
Hydrogeological conceptualisation of a tropical river catchment in a crystalline basement area and transfer into a numerical groundwater flow model: Case study for the Upper Ouémé catchment in Benin
(2008)
The scope of this PhD thesis was the hydrogeological conceptualisation of the Upper Ouémé river catchment in Benin. The study area exceeds 14’500 km2; and is underlain by a crystalline basement. At this setting ...
Spatio-temporal patterns of tree-growth response to climatic change
(2008)
Trees growing under temperate climate conditions are affected by numerous growth influences. Dendroclimatological analyses of tree-ring chronologies in which the long-term growth/climate relations are investigated, help ...
Soil degradation by water erosion in a sub-humid West-African catchment: a modelling approach considering land use and climate change in Benin
(2008)
Soil degradation threatens agricultural production and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the coming decades, soil degradation, in particular soil erosion, will become worse through the expansion of agriculture into ...
Multiple and more frequent natural hazards: The vulnerability implications for rural West African communities
(2016-12-22)
Rural, subsistence agriculture dependent communities in the West-Sudanian Savannah climate zone are dependent on a single rainy season to produce the crops that they need to sustain themselves for the following year. ...
Modeling water availability for smallholder farming in inland valleys under climate and land use / land cover change in Dano, Burkina Faso
(2020-05-05)
Effective water management in inland valley catchments is crucial for adaptation to the adverse impact of climate change and land use and land cover change (LULCC) on smallholder farming systems, poverty reduction, attaining ...
Climate variability and change in the Altai-Dzungarian region and its hydrological impact
(2023-10-09)
The Altai Mountains and also other mountainous areas of Central Asia experienced intermittent cold periods during the 20th-century warming of the Northern Hemisphere. Since the recent cold period in the 1980s, subsequent ...
