Spatio-Temporal Registration Techniques for Agricultural Robots
(2021-06-16)
A critical challenge that we face today is to meet the rising demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel from an ever-growing world population. We must meet this demand within the limited arable land available to us and do so ...
Applying Disaster Risk Governance in Dynamic Environments: Case study Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil
(2021-05-17)
Between 1980 and 2015, around 1.6 billion people were killed in meteorological, geophysical, hydrological or climatological disasters. Future annual losses are estimated to reach US4 billion in the built environment alone. ...
Mining and small-scale farming in the Andes: Socio-environmental roots of land-use conflict
(2020-04-08)
The Peruvian Andes are one of the most important water sources for the country. Therefore, their exploitation might pose critical threats for local farming activities, national economy, and water quantity and quality. At ...
Impact assessment of global change on wetland-catchment interactions in a tropical East African catchment
(2020-02-27)
Water is the key to sustainable development, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where a large part of the population lives on subsistence farming. Reliable knowledge of available water resources therefore is an ...
3-D Cloud Morphology and Evolution Derived from Hemispheric Stereo Cameras
(2020-02-11)
Clouds play a key role in the Earth-atmosphere system as they reflect incoming solar radiation back to space, while absorbing and emitting longwave radiation. A significant challenge for observation and modeling pose cumulus ...
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 ...

Wohnorte können für uns so bedeutsam sein, dass sie unsere Identität in besonderer Weise beeinflussen. So kann der Ort, an dem wir wohnen und leben, unsere Heimat sein, unsere Identität prägen oder sogar als ein Teil unserer ...
In situ observations of reaction and transport phenomena during silicate glass corrosion by fluid-cell Raman spectroscopy: Method development and applications
(2020-07-06)
Borosilicate glass is the preferred material for the immobilization of high-level nuclear waste and an important material for various industries. Silicate glasses, however, are prone to corrosion by aqueous solutions, which ......
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 ...
Optimization of point grids in regional satellite gravity analysis using a Bayesian approach
(2020-03-25)
The subject of this thesis is the global and regional gravity field determination from GOCE data using the short arc approach. The focus is on the extension of the regional method regarding an adaption of the model resolution ...
