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 ...
Geometric three-dimensional modelling of tectonic structures in the Alps and Jura Mountains
(2021-06-01)
Geometric and kinematic three-dimensional (3D) modelling of complex geological structures experienced an outstanding evolution and has become more and more important nowadays in the field of geoscience as well as oil and ...
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 ...
3D hydrological simulation of a forested headwater catchment: Spatio-temporal validation and scale dependent parameterization
(2016-09-30)
Soil moisture plays a key role in the water and energy balance in soil, vegetation and atmosphere systems. There is a grand need to increase global-scale hyper-resolution water-energy-biogeochemistry land surface modelling ...
Interlinkages of Land Degradation, Marginality and Land Use Cover Change in Kenya: Development of an interdisciplinary framework using remote sensing and GIS
(2015-12-01)
Land degradation (LD) is a global problem affecting and being affected by socio-ecological systems. In this thesis the interlinkages of LD, marginality and land use cover change (LUCC) in Kenya based on remote sensing and ...
A high-resolution regional reanalysis for Europe and Germany: Creation and Verification with a special focus on the moisture budget
(2015-10-22)
Atmospheric reanalyses represent a state-of-the-art description of the Earth‘s atmospheric state over the past years or decades. They are comprised of a numerical model for the solution of the equations of motion describing ...
