Hans Peter Cornelius (1888–1950): a perfect mapping geologist and scientific explorer of the Alps
(International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020-07-06)Hans Peter Cornelius was a squeamishly and accurately mapping field geologist with an eye for the finest detail as well as for the large-scale architectural structure of mountain ranges. His excellent work concerned the ... -
Slab break-offs in the Alpine subduction zone
(International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020-01-30)After the onset of plate collision in the Alps, at 32–34 Ma, the deep structure of the orogen is inferred to have changed dramatically: European plate break-offs in various places of the Alpine arc, as well as a possible ... -
Paleo‐denudation rates suggest variations in runoff drove aggradation during last glacial cycle, Crete, Greece
(Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022-11-13)Fluvial aggradation and incision are often linked to Quaternary climate cycles, but it usually remains unclear whether variations in runoff or sediment supply or both drive channel response to climate variability. Here we ... -
Experimental Investigation on Static and Dynamic Bulk Moduli of Dry and Fluid-Saturated Porous Sandstones
(Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2020-09-29)Knowledge of pressure-dependent static and dynamic moduli of porous reservoir rocks is of key importance for evaluating geological setting of a reservoir in geo-energy applications. We examined experimentally the evolution ... -

Comparative application and optimization of different single-borehole dilution test techniques
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-12-05)Single-borehole dilution tests (SBDTs) are a method for characterizing groundwater monitoring wells and boreholes, and are based on the injection of a tracer into the saturated zone and the observation of concentration ... -
Predisposing and triggering factors of large-scale landslides in Debre Sina area, central Ethiopian highlands
(Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2020-08-16)A large number of landslide events have repeatedly struck the border zone of the northwestern plateaus of Ethiopia. Debre Sina area is one of the most tectonically active areas located along the western margin of the Afar ... -
Integrating field work and large-scale modeling to improve assessment of karst water resources
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-10-31)Comprehensive management of karst water resources requires sufficient understanding of their dynamics and karst-specific modeling tools. However, the limited availability of observations of karstic groundwater dynamics has ... -
Future-proofing hydrogeology by revising groundwater monitoring practice
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-10-01)Groundwater is an important global resource and its sustainable use faces major challenges. New methods and advances in computational science could lead to much improved understanding of groundwater processes and subsurface ... -
A model ensemble generator to explore structural uncertainty in karst systems with unmapped conduits
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-10-02)Karst aquifers are characterized by high-conductivity conduits embedded in a low-conductivity fractured matrix, resulting in extreme heterogeneity and variable groundwater flow behavior. The conduit network controls ... -
Structural controls on the hydrogeological functioning of a floodplain
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-08-22)Floodplains are often conceptualized as homogeneous sediment bodies which connect streams with their respective catchment and buffer agricultural inputs. This has led to a general bias within the hydrological community ... -
Combining implicit geological modeling, field surveys, and hydrogeological modeling to describe groundwater flow in a karst aquifer
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-09-15)Abstract In three-dimensional (3-D) implicit geological modeling, the bounding surfaces between geological units are automatically constructed from lithological contact data (position and orientation) and the ... -
Assessment of the heterogeneity of hydraulic properties in gravelly outwash plains: a regionally scaled sedimentological analysis in the Munich gravel plain, Germany
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-08-11)The favorable overall conditions for the utilization of groundwater in fluvioglacial aquifers are impacted by significant heterogeneity in the hydraulic conductivity, which is related to small-scale facies changes. Knowledge ... -
Hydrochemical evaluation of water resources and human impacts on an urban karst system, Jordan
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-06-05)Urban karst aquifers are threatened by anthropogenic activities, especially in semiarid developing countries. Recent water-sampling campaigns assessed the extent of groundwater-quality impairment in the Wadi Shueib in ... -
Ensemble-based stochastic permeability and flow simulation of a sparsely sampled hard-rock aquifer supported by high performance computing
(Hydrogeology Journal, 2020-05-07)Calibrating the heterogeneous permeability distribution of hard-rock aquifers based on sparse data is challenging but crucial for obtaining meaningful groundwater flow models. This study demonstrates the applicability of ... -
Automated digital data acquisition for landslide inventories
(Landslides, 2020-06-11)Landslide research relies on landslide inventories for a multitude of spatial, temporal, or process analyses. Generally, it takes high effort to populate a landslide inventory with relevant data. In this context, the present ... -
How robust are landslide susceptibility estimates?
(Landslides, 2020-08-24)Much of contemporary landslide research is concerned with predicting and mapping susceptibility to slope failure. Many studies rely on generalised linear models with environmental predictors that are trained with data ... -
