On Cells and Agents: Geosimulation of Urban Sprawl in Western Germany by Integrating Spatial and Non-Spatial Dynamics
(2014-07-18)
Urban sprawl is one of the most challenging land-use and land-cover changes in Germany implicating numerous consequences for the anthropogenic and geobiophysical spheres. While the population and job growth rates of most ...
Paleolimnology of Lake Iznik (NW Turkey) during the past ~ 31 ka cal BP
(2014-07-23)
Lake Iznik, situated in the Marmara region (NW Turkey), is an alkaline lake with about 300 km2 surface area, inserted in an area of typical Mediterranean climate. During the dry summer season, carbonates are precipitating ...
Stochastic Parameterization: A Rigorous Approach to Stochastic Three-Dimensional Primitive Equations
(2014-04-02)
The atmosphere is a strongly nonlinear and infinite-dimensional dynamical system acting on a multitude of different time and space scales. A possible problem of numerical weather prediction and climate modeling using ...
The knowledge-based search for water-related information system for the Mekong delta, Vietnam
(2014-03-14)
In recent years, the World Wide Web has strongly changed way of sharing and accessing data. Moreover, with new methods of data collection are developed we have much more data today. However, it is not straightforward to ...
On the ecology and biogeography of alpine tundra arachnids
(2014-05-21)
In the course of the discussion about the effects of manmade Climate Change on ecosystems, alpine regions of the earth have become a major focus. Alpine ecosystems are generally considered to be especially sensitive towards ......
Scenarios of Urban Growth in Kenya Using Regionalised Cellular Automata based on Multi temporal Landsat Satellite Data
(2014-04-24)
The exponential increase of urban areas in Africa during the last decade has become a major concern in the context of local climatic change and the increasing amount of impervious surface. Major African cities such as ...
Vegetation and climate history during the last glacial-interglacial cycle at Lake Van, eastern Anatolia
(2014-04-16)
This study investigated the first continuous high-resolution pollen record from Lake Van, eastern Anatolia that encompasses the last glacial-interglacial cycle (~130 ka BP). The reconstructed paleovegetation documents a ......
Wuchspotenziale der Waldbäume unter sich ändernden Klimabedingungen im westdeutschen Mittelgebirgsraum: eine dendroökologische Netzwerkanalyse
(2014-04-02)
Unsere Wälder sind im Zuge des Klimawandels sich verändernden klimatischen Bedingungen ausgesetzt wodurch es zu Änderungen im Radialwachstum, insbesondere zu Wuchsreduktionen, bei Baumarten kommen kann. Um solche Änderungen ...
Bayesian model verification: Predictability of convective conditions based on EPS forecasts and observations
(2014-05-20)
Forecasts of convective precipitation have significant uncertainties. Among the main reasons for these uncertainties are the non-linear dynamics of the atmosphere and approximations within the equations of the numerical ...
Nature and values of coping and adaptation: An evaluation of response mechanisms to changing water-related risks in rural areas of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
(2014-10-08)
Drivers, characteristics and barriers of beneficial and adapted response mechanisms to water-related risks in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) are at the centre of this PhD research. These subject matters owe their ...
