Remote sensing based assessment of land cover and soil moisture in the Kilombero floodplain in Tanzania
(2018-08-15)
Wetlands provide important ecological, biological, and social-economic services that are critical for human existence. The increasing demand for food, arable land shortage and changing climate conditions in East Africa ...
Isoprene Secondary Organic Aerosol in a Global Chemistry Climate Model
(2018-09-26)
Atmospheric aerosol influences the climate system, modifying atmospheric radiation directly and indirectly. Up to 90% to the total organic aerosol is formed through the oxidation of hydrocarbons and subsequent nucleation, ...
Stochastic physical models for wind fields and precipitation extremes
(2018-07-03)
A major goal of this thesis is to introduce stochastic, physically consistent models for precipitation extremes based on the moisture budget. The moisture budget describes the moisture flux convergence and is essential for ...
Funktionale Analyse von Fledertier-Gebissen (Chiroptera)
(2018-04-13)
Fledertiere (Mammalia: Chiroptera) sind mit ungefähr 1200 Arten in 18 Familien die zweitgrößte Säugetierordnung nach den Nagetieren und die einzige, die zum aktiven Flug fähig ist. Sie sind nahezu weltweit verbreitet und ......
Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) are with about 1200 species in 18 families the second-largest order within the Mammalia after rodents and the only one with the ability for active flight. They have a nearly worldwide distribution ......

Towards a probabilistic regional reanalysis for Europe
(2018-06-14)
A new development in the field of reanalyses is the incorporation of uncertainty estimation capabilities. In the course of this work, a new probabilistic regional reanalysis system for the CORDEX-EUR11 domain has been ...
Migration and translocal resilience = Migration und translokale Resilienz: A multi-sited analysis in/between Thailand, Singapore and Germany = Eine multilokale Analyse zwischen Thailand, Singapur und Deutschland
(2020-12-07)
Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Rolle der transnationalen Migration für die soziale Resilienz. Die translokale Einbettung und die daraus resultierenden sozialen Praktiken, sind ein zentraler Baustein für ...
Impact and Range Extension of Invasive Foraminifera in the NW Mediterranean Sea: Implications for Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning
(2018-01-18)
Climate warming and the poleward widening of the tropical belt have induced range shifts in a variety of marine and terrestrial organisms. Among the key taxa that are rapidly expanding their latitudinal range are larger ...
Flooding in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and the challenge of climate change
(2018-02-16)
The country of Bangladesh is located in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river delta, and faces multiple natural hazards, in particular flooding, and other challenges such as sea-level rise and a growing population. Dhaka, ...
2-D Anisotropic Inversion of Frequency-Domain Induced Polarization Data
(2018-03-23)
Measured data in IP (time or frequency domain) are usually interpreted with inversion algorithms, which may be based on stochastic or iterative schemes for finding an optimal data-associated model of the subsurface. Despite ...
Modelling the hydrological impact of rice intensification in inland valleys in Benin (West Africa)
(2018-01-25)
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of climate change and rice intensification on water availability, water quality, and rice production. A spatial explicit approach was developed to determine suitable areas for ...
