Remote sensing based assessment of small wetlands in East Africa
(2010-11-26)
Small wetlands in East Africa have in the past few decades become focal points of a broad spectrum of agricultural production and other land-uses. Climate change and population growth are the major factors attributing to ...
Hagenhufensiedlungen oder „Hägerhufensiedlungen“ in der Ithbörde?: Ein Beitrag zur Ausdifferenzierung eines siedlungsgeographischen Terminus und Phänomens
(2010-01-13)
Hagenhufensiedlungen gelten als eine planmäßige Siedlungsform des Hochmittelalters, die aus einander gereihten Besitzbreitstreifen bestehen. Während es Untersuchungen über das Hägerrecht gibt, ist ein Zusammenhang von ...
Modelling impacts of climate change on water resources in the Volta Basin, West Africa
(2010-01-27)
The Volta River Basin is one of the largest river systems in Africa covering an area of approximately 400,000 km2 and shared by six riparian states of West Africa. The semi-arid to sub-humid regions of the basin ...
Forced relocation after the Indian Ocean tsunami, 2004: case study of vulnerable populations in three relocation settlements in Galle, Sri Lanka
(2010-05-19)
This study focuses on the impact of forced relocation on the livelihoods of residents who lived in the city of Galle, Southern Province of Sri Lanka, prior to the 2004 tsunami, who were later forcibly relocated into new ...
Reconstruction of possible realisations of the Late Glacial and Holocene near surface climate in Central Europe
(2010-05-19)
This thesis presents several aspects of reconstructing physical consistent realisations of past climatological fields. Local climate reconstructions are obtained by a method, which is based on the idea of indicator taxa ...
Urban segregation as a complex system: an agent-based simulation approach
(2010-04-08)
Urban segregation represents a significant barrier for achieving social inclusion in cities. To overcome this, it is necessary to implement policies founded upon a better understanding of segregation dynamics. However, a ...
Validation of the COSMO: Land-Surface Parameterization TERRA-ML with discharge measurements
(2010-02-12)
The objective of this study is to eliminate known deficits in the operational land-surface parameterization (LSP) TERRA-ML of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model COSMO (Consortium for Small-Scale Modeling). A large ...
Soil characteristics and soil erosion by water in a semi-arid catchment (Wadi Drâa, South Morocco) under the pressure of global change
(2009-11-24)
Soil resources are crucial for the well-being of man and the environment. The results of the first Global Assessment of Human-induced Soil Degradation (GLASOD) indicate that 13% of the world’s soils are degraded; thereof ...
Die deutschen Weinbaugebiete: ihre historisch-geographische Entwicklung und wirtschafts- und sozialgeographische Struktur
(1956)
Der Weinbau als Intensivkultur hat seit Jahrzehnten das Interesse der verschiedensten Wissenschaften wachgerufen. Es gibt daher bereits zahlreiche Untersuchungen über den Weinbau in Deutschland und in den einzelnen ...
A multi-agent system for simulating land-use and land-cover change in the Atankwidi catchment of Upper East Ghana
(2010-01-27)
Land-use and land-cover change (LUCC), which is a general term for the human modification of the Earth’s terrestrial surface, increasingly gains attention in the scientific community, due to its vast global extent and the ...
