The bowing potential of granitic rocks: rock fabrics, thermal properties and residual strain
(Environmental Geology, 2007)The bowing of natural stone panels is especially known for marble slabs. The bowing of granite is mainly known from tombstones in subtropical humid climate. Field inspections in combination with laboratory investigations ... -
The Di models method: geological 3-D modeling of detrital systems consisting of varying grain fractions to predict the relative lithological variability for a multipurpose usability
(Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021-12-21)The coexistence of a wide variety of subsurface uses in urban areas requires increasingly demanding geological prediction capacities for characterizing the geological heterogeneities at a small-scale. In particular, detrital ... -
The effect of air pollution on stone decay: the decay of the Drachenfels trachyte in industrial, urban, and rural environments—a case study of the Cologne, Altenberg and Xanten cathedrals
(Environmental Earth Sciences, 2013)Severe stone deterioration is evident at the Cologne cathedral. In particular, the “Drachenfels” trachyte, which was the building material of the medieval construction period, shows significant structural deterioration as ... -
The effect of asymmetric dune roughness on tidal asymmetry in the Weser estuary
(Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-06-10)The bed of estuaries is often characterized by ripples and dunes of varying size. Whereas smaller bedforms adapt their morphological shape to the oscillating tidal currents, large compound dunes (here: asymmetric tidal ... -
The effect of formation processes on the frequency of palaeolithic cave sites in semiarid zones: Insights from Kazakhstan
(Geoarchaeology, 2022-04-05)Central Asian caves with Palaeolithic deposits are few, but they provide a rich record of human fossils and cultural assemblages that has been used to model Late Pleistocene hominin dispersals. However, previous research ... -
The effect of hydrogeological and hydrochemical dynamics on landslide triggering in the central highlands of Ethiopia
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2021-02-12)The volcanic terrain at the western margin of the Main Ethiopian Rift in the Debre Sina area is known for its slope stability problems. This report describes research on the effects of the hydrogeological and hydrochemical ... -
The Evolution of Central Volcanoes in Ultraslow Rift Systems: Constraints From D. João de Castro Seamount, Azores
(Tectonics, 2021-06-29)The Dom João de Castro seamount in the Hirondelle Basin (Azores) is a central volcano on the ultraslow diverging Terceira Rift axis. The combination of structural and geochemical data provides insights into the evolution ... -
The evolution of metazoan α-carbonic anhydrases and their roles in calcium carbonate biomineralization
(Frontiers in Zoology, 2014)The carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) superfamily is a class of ubiquitous metallo-enzymes that catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. The α-CA family, present in all metazoan clades, is a key enzyme ... -
The fluvial architecture of buried floodplain sediments of the Weiße Elster River (Germany) revealed by a novel method combination of drill cores with two‐dimensional and spatially resolved geophysical measurements
(Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022-01-05)The complex and non‐linear fluvial river dynamics are characterized by repeated periods of fluvial erosion and re‐deposition in different parts of the floodplain. Understanding the fluvial architecture (i.e. the three‐dimensional ... -
The geodynamic and limnological evolution of Balkan Lake Ohrid, possibly the oldest extant lake in Europe
(Boreas, 2022-10-31)Studies of the upper 447 m of the DEEP site sediment succession from central Lake Ohrid, Balkan Peninsula, North Macedonia and Albania provided important insights into the regional climate history and evolutionary dynamics ... -
The Hidden Giant: How a rift pulse triggered a cascade of sector collapses and voluminous secondary mass‐transport events in the early evolution of Santorini
(Basin Research, 2022-04-19)Volcanic island sector collapses have the potential to trigger devastating tsunamis and volcanic eruptions that threaten coastal communities and infrastructure. Considered one of the most hazardous volcano‐tectonic regions ... -
The impact of different proportions of a treated effluent on the biotransformation of selected micro-contaminants in river water microcosms.
(International journal of environmental research and public health, 2014)Attenuation of micro-contaminants is a very complex field in environmental science and evidence suggests that biodegradation rates of micro-contaminants in the aqueous environment depend on the water matrix. The focus of ... -
The Impact of Sediment Supply on the Initiation and Magnitude of Runoff-Generated Debris Flows
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)Rainfall intensity-duration (ID) thresholds are commonly used to assess the potential for runoff-generated debris flows, but the sensitivity of these thresholds to sediment supply, which can change rapidly with time, is ... -
The impact of the warm phase of ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) events on water resource availability of tropical catchments in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
(Advances in geosciences, 2006)Precipitation anomalies caused by the warm phase (El Niño) of the ENSO cycle lead to a strong decrease of water resources in South-East Asia. The aim of this work is to study the impact of warm phase ENSO caused precipitation ... -
The Importance of Monitoring Interval for Rockfall Magnitude-Frequency Estimation
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2019)Rockfalls commonly exhibit power law volume-frequency distributions, where fewer large events are observed relative to more numerous small events. Within most inventories, the smallest rockfalls are the most difficult to ... -
The Influence of Grain Size Distribution on Laboratory‐Generated Volcanic Lightning
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022-10-04)Over the last decades, remote observation tools and models have been developed to improve the forecasting of ash‐rich volcanic plumes. One challenge in these forecasts is knowing the properties at the vent, including the ... -
