Retrieval of Sea Level and Surface Loading Variations from Geodetic Observations and Model Simulations: an Integrated Approach
(2014-04-07)
The mass distribution in the system Earth changes dynamically over time. Time-variable mass transport mainly arises from the interplay between the terrestrial hydrological water cycle, the ocean and atmosphere, and the ...
Statistical Signal Decomposition Techniques for Analyzing Time-Variable Satellite Gravimetry Data
(2014-09-29)
The time-variable gravity fields from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission provide valuable information about total water storage variations on a global scale. This quantity is difficult ...
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 ...
Wasserversorgungspraktiken in urbanen Räumen Boliviens: Praxistheoretische Untersuchung eines gesellschaftlichen Naturverhältnisses
(2014-09-08)
Die Wasserversorgung in urbanen Räumen der sogenannten „Länder des Südens“ ist in vielen Fällen weit heterogener als die Versorgungssysteme westlicher Länder. Während zentrale Wasserversorgungsnetze oft nur die privilegierten ...
Progressive orogenic deformation and metamorphism along the Combin Fault and Dent Blanche Basal Thrust in the Swiss-Italian Western Alps
(2015-03-24)
In the Western Alps of Switzerland and Italy, a stack of oceanic and continental units assembled during Late Cretaceous – Paleogene Alpine subduction, exhumation, and accretion. In the study area in the southern Valais and ...
