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 ...
Sediment storage in the Upper Rhone Valley, Switzerland
(2022-10-10)
High-mountain areas feature the largest potential energy gradients and are thus characterized by the highest sediment fluxes. Vast amounts of Postglacial sediment are stored in this environment on all spatial scales. ...
Linking slopes to the wetland: Hillslope hydrology and associated nitrate transport in a tropical valley bottom wetland
(2022-11-07)
Valley bottom wetlands are regarded as a white hope for enhancing food security in East Africa. Due to their prolonged water availability, they buffer some of the effects of climate change and further offer fertile soils ...
Decomposition experiments on Cambarellus diminutus (Decapoda: Cambaridae) under different environmental conditions and the influence of bacterial activity with regard to fossilization
(2022-09-28)
A fossil only occurs if certain decay processes take place and/or are interrupted. Microorganisms have an important influence on the environmental conditions, caused by their metabolic products and the formation of biofilms. ...
Spatial Verification with Wavelets
(2022-04-04)
Modern numerical weather prediction models can simulate atmospheric processes at a resolution of single kilometers. With growing complexity, the realism of these simulations becomes increasingly difficult to quantify. ...
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 ...
Place Identity und gesundheitliches Wohlbefinden: Die Bildung von Identität am Wohnort und ihre salutogenetische Wirkung am Beispiel von Neubaugebieten außerhalb der Stadt
(2021-12-16)
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 ...
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 ...
