The sediment record of Lake Ohrid (Albania/Macedonia)
(Univ. Köln, 2009)
This thesis had two primary objectives: One objective was to explore and develop applications of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) for the quantification of biogeochemical properties in lake sediment; the ...
Quaternary tectonics and seismic stratigraphy of the western Black Sea shelf
(Univ. Hamburg, 2009)
Interpretation of high and very high resolution reflection seismic data from the western Black Sea shelf yielded a seismic stratigraphic model of the Late Quaternary deposits on the southwestern Black Sea shelf. This model ...
Late Quaternary environmental history of Taylor Valley, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, reconstructed by a multidisciplinary study of lake sediments
(Univ. Köln, 2009)
In the unglaciated areas of Antarctica, lake sediments act as archives of the regional environmental and climatic history. In most cases, the records are restricted to the Holocene. Amongst the few exceptions are lakes in ...
The late Quaternary environmental and climatic history of North-East Greenland, inferred from coastal lakes
(Univ. Köln, 2009)
Eleven lakes and ponds and three lacustrine sediment sequences from coastal East and North-East Greenland were studied for recent hydrological and phytoplankton characteristics and for palaeolimnology, respectively. The ...
Deformation von Fassadenplatten aus Marmor
(Universitätsverlag Göttingen, 2006-09)
For about four decades marble has been used as thin veneer cladding. The durability
of such thin slabs (mostly 30-40 mm) is satisfactory at most constructions. However,
on numerous buildings all over the world, the ...
Deformation microstructures
(Univ. Bremen, 2007)
Ice, microstructures, subgrain boundaries, recrystallization, flow, deformation. - The primary objective of this thesis is the investigation of microstructures obtained from samples from the EPICA Dronning Maud Land ice ...
Predictive modeling of organic pollutant leaching and transport behavior at the lysimeter and field scales
(Univ. Dresden, 2007)
Soil and groundwater pollution has become a global issue since the advent of industrialization and mechanized agriculture. Some contaminants such as PAHs may persist in the subsurface for decades and centuries. In a bid ...
Tectonique et géodynamique actuelle de l'arc alpin
(Univ. Neuchâtel, 2004)
Le régime tectonique actuel de la chaîne des Alpes centrales/occidentales est analysé grâce à une compilation de 389 mécanismes au foyer couvrant l'ensemble de l'arc alpin, ainsi que par l'étude détaillée du séisme de ...
Verbreitung und Eigenschaften von Massenverlagerungsgebieten an der Wellenkalk-Schichtstufe im Thüringer Becken unter besonderer Berücksichtigung geomorphologischer und klimatologischer Steuerungsfaktoren
(Univ. Halle, 2002)
Die Wellenkalk-Schichtstufe im Thüringer ist allgemein als sehr massenverlagerungsanfällig bekannt. Über das großräumige Ausmaß der Massenbewegungen wußte man bislang jedoch nur sehr wenig. Es fehlten Informationen zu ...
Channelised and open-slope processes of mass sediment transport
(Univ. Bremen, 2005)
Sediment transport, high productivity, submarine canyon, submarine slide, excess pore-pressure, weak layers, slope failure. - The study investigates processes of mass sediment transport in two geologically unique Atlantic ...
