A global-scale analysis of water storage dynamics of inland wetlands: Quantifying the impacts of human water use and man-made reservoirs as well as the unavoidable and avoidable impacts of climate change
; ; ; (Ecohydrology, 2019)
Wetlands such as bogs, swamps, or freshwater marshes are hotspots of biodiversity. For 5.1 million km2 of inland wetlands, the dynamics of area and water storage, which strongly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services, ... -
Analysis of future changes in meteorological drought patterns in Fulda, Germany
; Ivanov, Martin; ; Luterbacher, Jürg; (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Meteorological droughts have large impacts on society and the environment. A better understanding and quantification of their occurrences can be highly relevant for the development of proper climate change mitigation, ... -
Assessing vertical diffusion in a stratified lake using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model
;; ; ; ; ; (Hydrological Processes, 2019)
Vertical turbulent diffusivity (Kz), which can be estimated from water temperature, is a key factor in the evolution of water quality in lentic waters. In this study, we analysed the capability of a three-dimensional ... -
Changing Salinity Gradients in the Baltic Sea As a Consequence of Altered Freshwater Budgets
; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)
Climate change is expected to enhance the hydrological cycle in northern latitudes reducing the salinity in the Baltic Sea, a land-locked marginal sea with a large catchment area located in northern Europe. With the help ... -
Desert Soils in Lower Wadi Howar - Evidence of climate change and human impact during the Holocene
(Leidorf2007-08-30)The analysis of desert soils near archaeological sites allowed new insights in the environmental and living conditions of the early inhabitants of the Wadi Howar (NW Sudan) and their interactions with their environment. ... -
Does Export Production Measure Transient Changes of the Biological Carbon Pump's Feedback to the Atmosphere Under Global Warming?
; Kähler, P.; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020-11-20)
In a widely‐held conception, the biological carbon pump (BCP) is equal to the export of organic matter out of the euphotic zone. Using global ocean‐atmosphere model experiments we show that the change in export production ... -
Exploring the Iron-Binding Potential of the Ocean Using a Combined pH and DOC Parameterization
; ; (Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2020)
The major part of dissolved iron (DFe) in seawater is bound to organic matter, which prevents iron from adsorptive removal by sinking particles and essentially regulates the residence time of DFe and its availability for ... -
Grassland greening on the Mongolian Plateau despite higher grazing intensity
; Sun, Zhanli; Ren, Yanjun; Schierhorn, Florian; Müller, Daniel (Land Degradation & Development, 2020-10-01)
Changes in land management and climate alter vegetation dynamics, but the determinants of vegetation changes often remain elusive, especially in global drylands. Here we assess the determinants of grassland greenness on ... -
Joint Trends in Flood Magnitudes and Spatial Extents Across Europe
; ; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
The magnitudes of river floods in Europe have been observed to change, but their alignment with changes in the spatial coverage or extent of individual floods has not been clear. We analyze flood magnitudes and extents for ... -
Kartographie als Klimaarchiv - Meereis im Norden, vom Eis verschlossene Schiffspassagen und verstoßende Gletscher - alte Karten dokumentieren die »Kleine Eiszeit«
(E&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol.55, No. 1)Im 15. Jh. weisen Tabulae modernae und Weltkarten lateinischer Ptolemäus-Ausgaben auf Meereis in Nordeuropa hin. Zu Beginn des 17. Jh. scheitert die Suche nach einer Nordwestpassage nach Asien. Das Mittelalterliche ... -
Klima-Änderungen im Pleistozän: Isotopenuntersuchungen an fossilen Seesedimenten aus dem Holstein-Interglazial Ost-Polens
(E&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol.49, No. 1)In Ost-Polen erbohrte Seesedimente mit einer Mächtigkeit bis zu 55 m (Ossówka-See) dokumentieren das ganze Holstein-Interglazial und die Anfangsperiode der Saale-Eiszeit. An ausgewählten Bohrkernen der Seen von Ossówka und ... -
Late Pleistocene to Holocene vegetation and climate changes in northwestern Chukotka (Far East Russia) deduced from lakes Ilirney and Rauchuagytgyn pollen records
; ; ; Vyse, Stuart A.; ; Böhmer, Thomas; Stoof‐Leichsenring, Kathleen; ; ; (Boreas, 2021-03-31)
This paper presents two new pollen records and quantitative climate reconstructions from northern Chukotka documenting environmental changes over the last 27.9 ka. Open tundra‐ and steppe‐like habitats dominated between ... -
Luminescence Chronology of the Schwalbenberg II Loess in the Middle Rhine Valley
(E&G – Quaternary Science Journal; Vol.60, No. 1)Der Vergleich von „multiple aliquot“ Protokoll basierten IRSL- und TL-Altern mit denen von „single aliquot regenerative“ Protokollen mittels des post-IR IRSL (225°C) und fading-korrigierten IR (50°C) zeigt, dass Signalverlust ... -
Muslims and climate change: How Islam, Muslim organizations, and religious leaders influence climate change perceptions and mitigation activities
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2021-02-24)
A growing body of research stresses the importance of religion in understanding and addressing climate change. However, so far, little is known about the relationship between Muslim communities and climate change. Globally, ... -
No Cookie for Climate Change
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)Climate change leads to changes in cloud-radiative heating, which previous work showed have a substantial impact on the response of the atmospheric circulation to climate change. We here compare to what extent this ... -
Poleward Shift of the Major Ocean Gyres Detected in a Warming Climate
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
Recent evidence shows that wind-driven ocean currents, like the western boundary currents, are strongly affected by global warming. However, due to insufficient observations both on temporal and spatial scales, the impact ... -
Projected Changes in Compound Flood Hazard From Riverine and Coastal Floods in Northwestern Europe
; ; Hasan, Mehedi; ; (Earth's Future, 2020-11-18)
Compound flooding in coastal regions, that is, the simultaneous or successive occurrence of high sea levels and high river flows, is expected to increase in a warmer world. To date, however, there is no robust evidence on ... -
