Plant Diversity and hydrological relations to groundwater in the riparian zone of Cerrado in Mato Grosso (Brazil)
(2018-04-12)The riparian zones are essential to environmental quality, providing human society with several ecosystems services. Nonetheless, in tropical ecosystems, an intensive overexploitation of resources can hinder their resilience ... -
Plate Tectonic Evolution and Mineral Resource Potential of the Lancang River Zone, Southwestern Yunnan, People's Republic of China
(2005-02-09)A re-evaluation of the existing data and an integrated tectono-sedimentological, geochrono- logical and geochemical approach has led to a new perception of the Late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic geodynamic evolution ... -
Policy options to reduce deforestation in the Bolivian lowlands based on spatial modeling of land use change
(2013-01-09)Tropical deforestation represents one of the most urgent environmental problems of our time; it contributes heavily to climate change, causes immense losses of biodiversity and endangers important environmental services. ... -
Political Change and Urban Growth in a Medium-sized Outer Island Capital in Indonesia: The Case of Palu, Central Sulawesi
(2022-11-28)Purpose: This study examines how Palu’s urban development was affected by centralization and subsequent decentralization policies as well as how these shaped the local government and society. This study also explores local ... -
Pore- and core-scale studies for development of the Kinetic Interface Sensitive tracer – A novel reactive tracer technique to measure the fluid-fluid interfacial area for dynamic two-phase flow in porous media
(2022-11-04)Fluid-Fluid Interfacial Area (FIFA) is an important parameter relevant in numerous geological applications where two phases of fluids exist and interphase reactive mass transfer can happen. For example, in geological storage ... -
Porifera-microbialites of the Lower Liassic (Northern Calcareous Alps) - Re-settlement strategies on submarine mounds of dead Rhaetian reefs by ancestral benthic communities
(2005-06-08)In the aftermath of the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event, extant slopes of drowned alpine reef buildups were recolonized in patches by predominantly non-rigid sponges. Sponge faunas of ... -
Postglazialer Anstieg des Meeresspiegels, Paläoklima und Hydrographie, aufgezeichnet in Sedimenten der Bermuda inshore waters
(2000-10-26)The principal aim of this study was to clarify the sedimentary history of the Bermuda inshore waters during postglacial time. From this, clues to the deglacial history of regional sea-level ... -
Preferential flow dynamics in the vadose zone of fractured and fractured-porous media: Development of a parallelized multi-scale Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics model
(2020-03-23)The main objective of this thesis is the development of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model to study preferential flow dynamics in partially saturated porous-fractured media at core- and micro scale. The research ... -
Probing molecular tracers in geobiological systems using imaging mass spectrometry
(2013-05-06)In this thesis ToF-SIMS was applied to the study of geobiological samples. Except for a few pioneering studies, ToF-SIMS has rarely been used in the field of geobiology and thus only a limited number of SIMS reference ... -
Probleme und Lösungsansätze des Grundwassermonitorings nach EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie
(2005-07-05)With the long-term target to reach a good water condition , the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) states regulations for the human usage of water resources. The legal regulations ... -

(2008-08-08)The main objective of the present dissertation is the development of methods for quantification of flow and transport processes in karst aquifers. It deals with both detailed parameter ... -
Produktion öffentlicher Räume in indischen Megastädten
(2019-12-06)Since India’s economic liberalization in the 1990s the cities have undergone tremendous change. It goes along with conflicts about public spaces. This dissertation describes and analyzes the dynamics of mega-urban public ... -
Provenance model of the Cenozoic siliciclastic sediments from the western Central Andes (16-21°S): implications for Eocene to Miocene evolution of the Andes
(2011-11-09)The tectonic evolution of the South American continent western margin is controlled by the continuous subduction of the Nazca plate. The Central Andes, which reach altitudes of 6500 m, are ... -
Raman spectroscopy in Geobiology - Advances in detection and interpretation of organic signatures in rocks and minerals
(2014-01-21)In this thesis, Raman spectroscopy was applied to a broad range of rock types in order to test the ability of detecting and interpreting organic signals. In the field of geobiology Raman spectroscopy is relatively new, and ... -
