Floodplain aquifers are important hydraulic connectors between hillslopes and surface-water bodies. The flow field in floodplain aquifers comprises different flow components governed by various geometric and hydrogeologic ...
The Sahel region had a moderately good vegetation cover but presently, the land-scape is experiencing serious degradation. Research carried out in the field of desertification has not contributed to reducing or reversing ...
The spatial configuration of hydraulic properties in the subsurface controls groundwater flow and solute transport. Exploitable aquifer systems are often found in fluvial sedimentary deposits, which can exhibit predictable ...
The European environment agency listed around 250,000 contaminated field sites which need to be cleaned due to the hazardous effects they pose on human and ecosystem health. This number is expected to increase over the ...
We use models to understand or predict a system. Often, there are multiple plausible but competing model concepts. Hence, modelling is associated with conceptual uncertainty, i.e., the question about proper handling of ...
The accurate measurement of wind patterns and profiles in the atmospheric
boundary layer (ABL) is of great importance for a number of meteorological applica-
tions, including weather forecasting, climate studies and ...
Der Bodenwassergehalt ist eine Schlüsselvariable im Energie- und Wasserhaushalt der Erde und ist zur Modellierung der unteren Atmosphäre relevant. In dieser Arbeit werden elf SMT100 Bodenfeuchte Sensoren der Hersteller ...
This study assesses the performance impacts of a projected exclusive Combined Priority Lane (CPL) network for the use of all scheduled public transport systems (trolleybuses, conventional diesel buses and minibuses) in the ...
Compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) is increasingly applied in fundamental research, environmental sciences and forensic studies. The analysis of stable isotopes may largely improve the evaluation of sources, ...
A comprehensive and detailed knowledge about the spatial distribution of physical and chemical properties in heterogeneous porous aquifers plays a decisive role for a realistic representation of governing parameters in ...
Micropollutants in the aquatic environment pose a risk to human and environmental health. Effect-based tools have been applied in environmental monitoring for diverse toxicity endpoints but testing method for neurotoxicity ...
Der 1,49 Ga alte Norra Kärr-Intrusivkomplex (Schweden) besteht aus deformierten und metamorphisierten peralkalischen Nephelinsyeniten. Norra Kärr liegt im Transskandinavischen Magmatischen Gürtel und wurde entweder 1) als ...
Drought is an extended period of time with rainfall deficits. It is a natural hazard having environmental-, social and economical impacts. An index can be used to define the onset of drought and to simplify the wide range ...
Human biomonitoring is a valuable tool for investigating and understanding the human chemical exposome and its association to human health. Current approaches are mainly focusing on a small subset of already well-studied ...
Im Jahr 2003 umschrieb die Europäische Sicherheitsstrategie die Energieabhängigkeit in Europa als besorgniserregend. Nach einem wiederholten Gas-Disput zwischen Russland und der Ukraine im Jahr 2005 stoppte Russland zum ...
Solute transport of charged species in porous media is significantly affected by the electrochemical migration term resulting from the charge-induced interactions among the dissolved ions as well as with solid surfaces. ...
This cumulative thesis encompasses five papers that apply the theoretical perspective of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to the Anthropocene, investigating what scientific representations of the phenomenon exist, how ...
The impact of climate change on both supply and demand of water resources
in arid and semi arid regions like Jordan is projected to be severe. Climate change is expected to reduce water availability based on reduced rainfall ...
The experimental investigation of phase equilibria is a powerful method to study the formation of magmatic rocks. This work presents phase equilibrium experiments investigating an iron-rich peralkaline phonolitic composition ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant global threat due to their persistence, widespread environmental presence, and potential health risks. Despite advances in understanding PFAS fate, mobility, ...
