• A Lagrangian Perspective on Stable Water Isotopes During the West African Monsoon 

      Diekmann, Christopher J.ORCIDiD; Schneider, MatthiasORCIDiD; Knippertz, PeterORCIDiD; de Vries, Andries J.ORCIDiD; Pfahl, StephanORCIDiD; Aemisegger, FranziskaORCIDiD; Dahinden, FabienneORCIDiD; Ertl, BenjaminORCIDiD; Khosrawi, FarahnazORCIDiD; Wernli, HeiniORCIDiD; Braesicke, PeterORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-10-05)
      We present a Lagrangian framework for identifying mechanisms that control the isotopic composition of mid‐tropospheric water vapor in the Sahel region during the West African Monsoon 2016. In this region mixing between ...
    • Middle Miocene Climate and Stable Oxygen Isotopes in Europe Based on Numerical Modeling 

      Botsyun, SvetlanaORCIDiD; Ehlers, Todd A.ORCIDiD; Koptev, AlexanderORCIDiD; Böhme, MadelaineORCIDiD; Methner, KatharinaORCIDiD; Risi, CamilleORCIDiD; Stepanek, ChristianORCIDiD; Mutz, Sebastian G.ORCIDiD; Werner, MartinORCIDiD; Boateng, DanielORCIDiD; Mulch, AndreasORCIDiD (Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2022-10-24)
      The Middle Miocene (15.99–11.65 Ma) of Europe witnessed major climatic, environmental, and vegetational change, yet we are lacking detailed reconstructions of Middle Miocene temperature and precipitation patterns over ...
    • Opportunities and Challenges for Paleoaltimetry in “Small” Orogens: Insights From the European Alps 

      Botsyun, S.ORCIDiD; Ehlers, T. A.; Mutz, S. G.; Methner, K.ORCIDiD; Krsnik, E.; Mulch, A.ORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020-02-10)
      Many stable isotope paleoaltimetry studies have focused on paleoelevation reconstructions of orogenic plateaus such as the Tibetan or Andean Plateaus. We address the opportunities and challenges of applying stable isotope ...
    • Precipitation Over Southern Africa: Moisture Sources and Isotopic Composition 

      Geppert, M.ORCIDiD; Hartmann, K.ORCIDiD; Kirchner, I.ORCIDiD; Pfahl, S.ORCIDiD; Struck, U.ORCIDiD; Riedel, F. (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022-11-03)
      Southern Africa, with its vast arid to semiarid areas, is considered vulnerable to precipitation changes and amplifying weather extremes. However, during the last 100 ka, huge lakes existed in the currently dry central ...
    • Variability in tree water uptake determined with stable water isotopes in an African tropical montane forest 

      Hahn, Melanie; Jacobs, Suzanne Robin; Breuer, LutzORCIDiD; Rufino, Mariana C.ORCIDiD; Windhorst, DavidORCIDiD (Ecohydrology, 2021-02-08)
      Ecohydrological processes in tropical rainforests are insufficiently understood, and existing studies yield contradictory results. We investigated relative contributions of different soil depths to tree water uptake of 83 ...
