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 ...
Dating Early Archean partial melting events: insights from Re-Os dating of micrometric Os-minerals from Kalahari Craton mantle xenoliths
(2015-03-12)
Our understanding on the formation, mechanism and timing of the formation of the Earth’s earliest continents hinges on obtaining robust and accurate ages of melt depletion and lithosphere stabilisation. The Re-Os geochronometer ...
Cluster analysis of European surface ozone observations for evaluation of MACC reanalysis data
(2015-04-22)
The high density of European surface ozone monitoring sites offers good opportunities for investigation of the regional ozone representativeness and for evaluation of chemistry climate models. In this thesis we analyze ...
Retrieval of cloud and rainwater from ground-based passive microwave observations with the multi-frequency dual-polarized radiometer ADMIRARI
(2015-03-24)
A ground-breaking new-concept multi-wavelength dual-polarized passive microwave radiometer ADMIRARI (ADvanced MIcrowave RAdiometer for Rain Identification) has been developed to perform observations of atmospheric precipitating ...
Influences of Snow Cover on Thermal and Mechanical Processes in steep Permafrost Rock Walls
(2015-02-24)
Degradation of rock permafrost can cause instability due to influences on rock- and ice-mechanical properties. Permafrost conditions can be altered by thermal processes and, thus, also mechanical properties of rocks. Snow ...
The Foraminifera of the Zanzibar Archipelago: (Tanzania, East Africa)
(2015-01-08)
The Zanzibar Archipelago is the largest reef system in eastern Africa and represents the transition from the high-diversity region of the Asian Indo-Pacific to the cold-water areas of southern Africa. It is among the most ...
Dynamic triggering: The effects of remote earthquakes on volcanoes, hydrothermal systems and tectonics
(2015-02-02)
Dynamic stresses induced by seismic waves from large earthquakes can trigger a variety of geologic phenomena. This thesis focuses on observational evidence of dynamically triggered seismic activity in hydrothermal, volcanic ...
