A Dispositional Perspective of Resilience and Power: An Application of Power Asymmetries in Farming Communities in Caroni, Trinidad and Tobago
(2019-06-04)
Global change processes such as climate change and its impact on food systems, coastal communities and small island states requires us to rethink how sustainable development can be achieved in these coupled environments. ...
Model-based Source Partitioning of Eddy Covariance Flux Measurements
(2019-05-03)
Terrestrial ecosystems constantly exchange momentum, energy, and mass (e.g., water vapor, CO2) with the atmosphere above. This exchange is commonly measured with a micrometeorological technique, the eddy covariance ...
Holocene environmental and climate change in the southern Levant: diatom-based palaeolimnology of Lake Kinneret (Israel)
(2019-05-07)
The Eastern Mediterranean and especially the southern Levant are key regions for palaeoclimatological and palaeoenvironmental research due to their highly complex topography and climatic variabilty. Nevertheless, our ...
Evaluating the Contribution of Remote Sensing Data Products for Regional Simulations of Hydrological Processes in West Africa using a Multi-Model Ensemble
(2019-05-02)
Water is a crucial resource for human health, agricultural production and economic development. This holds especially true in West Africa, where large parts of the population work as self-sustaining farmers. Accurate ......
Hydrogeology and water quality of wetlands in East Africa: case studies of a floodplain and a valley bottom wetland
(2017-10-10)
This thesis is embedded in the interdisciplinary BMBF-funded project “GlobE – Wetlands in East Africa”, which focuses on reconciling future food production in East African wetlands with the concurrent environmental protection ...
Occlusion and Function of Triconodont Dentitions
(2020-12-18)
Over the last decades, many studies have focused on the tribosphenic molar and its functional aspects because it is considered to be a key innovation in mammalian evolution. Early triconodont dentitions have been examined ...
Multi-scale modeling of water resources in a tropical inland valley and a tropical floodplain catchment in East Africa
(2019-02-12)
This study investigated the dynamics of hydrological processes at the wetland-catchment scale through field scale-based analysis, point scale modeling using Hydrus-1D model along a floodplain transect in Tanzania and ...
Representation of deep convection at gray-zone resolutions - Implementing and testing the HYbrid MAss flux Convection Scheme (HYMACS) in the ICON model
(2022-07-08)
Despite the increasing computing resources, the grids of contemporary atmospheric models are often still too coarse to explicitly represent convective processes. Since these processes are known to be an important driver ...
Grüne Infrastruktur als Standortfaktor und als Potenzial für das Standortmarketing: Städte in Nordrhein-Westfalen im Vergleich
(2018-01-16)
Die Stadt Münster macht es vor: Durch ihr grünes Image haben Menschen das Bild einer lebenswerten Stadt im Sinn. Wie gehen andere Städte in Nordrhein-Westfalen mit ihrem Grün um und kann es ein Standortfaktor sein?
...

Syn- and post-depositional sand bodies in lignite: The interrelationship of tectonics and sedimentation in the Lower Rhine Embayment
(2018-06-04)
The Cenozoic-age Lower Rhine Embayment is part of the European Cenozoic Rift System, which initiated in Eocene times as a result of passive, intracontinental rifting. The Lower Rhine Embayment formed in an extensional ...
