Simulation of mesoscale patterns and diurnal variations of atmospheric CO2 mixing ratios with the model system TerrSysMP-CO2
(2016-06-28)
With the recent trend towards precise regional climate simulations information on the spatial distribution of CO2 sources and sinks at the mesoscale scale becomes more important. A common method to obtain these ...
Statistical analysis and combination of active and passive microwave remote sensing methods for soil moisture retrieval
(2016-08-15)
Knowledge about soil moisture and its spatio-temporal dynamics is essential for the improvement of climate and hydrological modeling, including drought and flood monitoring and forecasting, as well as weather forecasting ...
Bewertungsrobustheit der Gewässerstrukturkartierung nach dem Deutschen Vor-Ort-Verfahren
(2016-08-09)
Das Deutsche Vor-Ort-Verfahren der Bund- und Länderarbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser (LAWA-VO-Verfahren) liefert Gewässerstrukturdaten als Grundlage für zahlreiche wasserwirtschaftliche Anwendungen wie Wasserkörperbewertung, ...
Re-Os geochronology of base metal sulfides from cratonic mantle xenoliths: Case study from Somerset Island (Canada) and method development
(2016-10-28)
Robust and reliable time constraints are necessary to infer the formation and evolution of the cratonic mantle. Due to the large fractionation of Re from Os during mantle melting, the Re-Os decay system has been largely ...
Characteristics of Potential Vorticity anomalies associated with mesoscale extremes in the extratropical troposphere
(2016-07-21)
Severe convective weather, which has a huge impact on society, is influenced by a large range of scales. However, extremes, by definition rare events, are especially hard to forecast. This study proposes to use Potential ...
3D-Modeling of unsaturated flow dynamics and pattern: Potentials and Limitations at different spatial and temporal scales
(2016-06-14)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the suitability of the physically based, distributed 3D hydrological model HydroGeoSphere for the simulation of spatio-temporal soil moisture variability as well as unsaturated flow ...
Changing Cultural Landscapes around the Jostedalsglacier (West Norway), from Cultural Landscape Management to Cultural Landscape Governance – a Future Path?
(2016-12-22)
Study Aim
The present research focuses on the question how to design future cultural landscape management and cultural landscape dynamics. Cultural landscape change, as it takes place in West Norway, gains increased ...

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. ...
A sensitivity study of decadal climate prediction to aerosol variability using ECHAM6-HAM (GCM)
(2016-12-22)
The influence of aerosols on climate is an important but still highly uncertain aspect in climate research. Using the atmospheric general circulation model ECHAM6-HAM the objective of this study is to quantify the aerosol ...
Agricultural transformation and indigenous communities: A case study of the Soliga Communities in the montane forests, Southern India
(2016-09-15)
Rural indigenous communities (Adivasi) represent some of the most marginalized and poorest people in India. Their socio-economic and cultural livelihoods are subject to rapid change. Introduction of commercial agriculture ...
