Large-scale mass redistribution in the Earth system from synergistic use of Swarm data
(2022-01-26)
Long and consistent time series of large-scale mass redistribution in the Earth system are important in many scientific research areas. The dedicated Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Gravity Recovery And ...
Statistical relational learning of semantic models and grammar rules for 3D building reconstruction from 3D point clouds
(2016-11-04)
Formal grammars are well suited for the estimation of models with an a-priori unknown number of parameters such as buildings and have proven their worth for 3D modeling and reconstruction of cities. However, the generation ...
Streamwater transit time distributions at the catchment scale: constraining uncertainties through identification of spatio-temporal controls
(2016-04-08)
Precipitation water traveling through a catchment takes faster and slower flow paths to reach the outlet. The knowledge about the distribution of relevant flow paths in a catchment and their respective transit times of ...
Interpretation of Aerial Images with Learned Graphical Models
(2016-02-16)
In this thesis we present a new approach for image interpretation of aerial images using learned graphical models.
The approach uses a region based hierarchical feature adjacency graph. This contains homogeneous ...

Broken Roads and Broken Laws: How Infrastructure and Law Enforcement Shape Amazonian Deforestation Frontiers
(2020-06-29)
Deforestation of tropical rainforests contributes significantly to global climate change and accelerated biodiversity loss. To mitigate these impacts, the goal of drastically reducing tropical deforestation has been a ...
Robot Navigation Beyond Planning the Shortest Path
(2021-04-16)
Over the last decade, the demand for autonomous mobile robots has been growing continuously. Applications range from mobile manipulators operating on factory floors to autonomous cars driving in urban environments. A common ...
Potential use of nitrification inhibitors for mitigating N2O emission from soils
(2017-12-14)
The use of nitrification inhibitors (NI) to reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is a promising strategy to improve N fertilizer use efficiency and to help minimize emissions of the climate-relevant ...
Coupled biotic-abiotic mechanisms of nitrous oxide production in soils during nitrification involving the reactive intermediates hydroxylamine and nitrite
(2017-11-22)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas that can deplete the ozone layer. Microbial nitrification and denitrification have been long considered as the major contributors of soil N2O production. ...
Mainstreaming the ecosystem services approach in strategic environmental assessment of spatial planning in Chile
(2017-10-17)
Spatial planning plays a key role in policy decision-making given its influence on the future changes over the land systems and subsequently on the quality, quantity and spatial distribution of the ecosystem services (ES) ...
Drying front formation in topmost soil layers as evaporative restraint: Non-invasive monitoring by magnetic resonance and numerical simulation
(2017-04-04)
Prediction of soil moisture changes on large scales is of various interests with regard to water resources management. Within this PhD work, different Magnetic Resonance (MR) concepts/apparatus and sequences were applied ...
