An Adaptive Hybrid Vertical Equilibrium/Full‐Dimensional Model for Compositional Multiphase Flow
(Water Resources Research, 2022-01-21)Efficient compositional models are required to simulate underground gas storage in porous formations where, for example, gas quality (such as purity) and loss of gas due to dissolution are of interest. We first extend the ... -
A Combined Cosmogenic Nuclides Approach for Determining the Temperature‐Dependence of Erosion

Spatial variability in river bed porosity determined by nuclear density gauging: A case study from a French gravel‐bed river
; ; ; (Sedimentology, 2021-09-16)
Porosity is one of the key properties of fluvial sediments. It is defined as the ratio of pore volume to total volume. In river science, porosity is often assumed to be spatially constant, which might be a gross simplification ... -
The Role of Fluid Seepage in the Erosion of Mesozoic Carbonate Escarpments
; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021-11-12)
Mesozoic submarine carbonate escarpments are erosional features that host box canyons, the formation of which had been attributed to seepage erosion in view of their similarity to subaerial box canyons. The latter had been ... -
Size–frequency distribution of shallow landslides in the Black Forest, Germany

Landslides are a major hazard in mountainous regions, represent a threat to human life, and cause substantial economic costs. While some landslide hazard assessments, including hazards maps, are available for Germany, their ... -
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 ... -
Eemian landscape response to climatic shifts and evidence for northerly Neanderthal occupation at a palaeolake margin in northern Germany
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-09-14)
The prevailing view suggests that the Eemian interglacial on the European Plain was characterized by largely negligible geomorphic activity beyond the coastal areas. However, systematic geomorphological studies are sparse. ... -
