Cratonic eclogite is the product of oceanic crust subduction into the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, and it also is a fertile diamond source rock. In contrast to matrix minerals in magma-borne xenoliths, inclusions in diamond are shielded from external fluids, retaining more pristine information on the state of the eclogite source at the time of encapsulation. Vanadium is a multi-valent element and a widely used elemental redox proxy. Here, we show that that xenolithic garnet has lower average V abundances than garnet inclusions. This partly reflects crystal-chemical controls, whereby higher average temperatures recorded by inclusions, accompanied by enhanced Na2O and TiO2 partitioning into garnet, facilitate V incorporation at the expense of clinopyroxene. Unexpectedly, although diamond formation is strongly linked to metasomatism and xenoliths remained open systems, V concentrations are similar for bulk eclogites reconstructed from inclusions and from xenoliths. This suggests an oxygen-conserving mechanism for eclogitic diamond formation, and implies that eclogite is an efficient system to buffer fO2 over aeons of lithospheric mantle modification by subduction-derived and other fluids.
Abstract
The mineralogy, chemical composition, and physical properties of cratonic mantle eclogites with oceanic crustal protoliths can be modified by secondary processes involving interaction with fluids and melts, generated in various slab lithologies upon subduction (auto‐metasomatism) or mantle metasomatism after emplacement into the cratonic lithosphere. Here we combine new and published data to isolate these signatures and evaluate their effects on the chemical and physical properties of eclogite. Mantle metasomatism involving kimberlite‐like, ultramafic carbonated melts (UM carbonated melts) is ubiquitous though not pervasive, and affected between ~20% and 40% of the eclogite population at the various localities investigated here, predominantly at ~60–150 km depth, overlapping cratonic midlithospheric seismic discontinuities. Its hallmarks include lower jadeite component in clinopyroxene and grossular component in garnet, an increase in bulk‐rock MgO ± SiO2, and decrease in FeO and Al2O3 contents, and LREE‐enrichment accompanied by higher Sr, Pb, Th, U, and in part Zr and Nb, as well as lower Li, Cu ± Zn. This is mediated by addition of a high‐temperature pyroxene from a UM carbonated melt, followed by redistribution of this component into garnet and clinopyroxene. As clinopyroxene‐garnet trace‐element distribution coefficients increase with decreasing garnet grossular component, clinopyroxene is the main carrier of the metasomatic signatures. UM carbonated melt‐metasomatism at >130–150 km has destroyed the diamond inventory at some localities. These mineralogical and chemical changes contribute to low densities, with implications for eclogite gravitational stability, but negligible changes in shear‐wave velocities, and, if accompanied by H2O‐enrichment, will enhance electrical conductivities compared to unenriched eclogites.
Plain Language Summary
Oceanic crust formed at spreading ridges is recycled in subduction zones and undergoes metamorphism to eclogite. Some of this material is captured in the overlying lithospheric mantle, where it is exhumed by passing magmas. Having formed in spreading ridges, these eclogites have proven invaluable archives for the onset of plate tectonics, for the construction of cratons during subduction/collision, as probes of the convecting mantle from which their precursors formed, and as generators of heterogeneity upon recycling into Earth's convecting mantle. During subduction and until exhumation, interaction with fluids and melts (called metasomatism) can change the mineralogy, chemical composition, and physical properties of mantle eclogites, complicating their interpretation, but a comprehensive study of these effects is lacking so far. We investigated mantle eclogites from ancient continents (cratons) around the globe in order to define hallmarks of metasomatism by subduction‐related fluids and small‐volume ultramafic carbonated mantle melts. We find that the latter is pervasive and occurs predominantly at midlithospheric depths where seismic discontinuities are detected, typically causing diamond destruction and a reduction in density. This has consequences for their gravitational stability and for the interpretation of shearwave velocities in cratons.
The metasomatised continental mantle may play a key role in the generation of some ore deposits, in particular mineral systems enriched in platinum-group elements (PGE) and Au. The cratonic lithosphere is the longest-lived potential source for these elements, but the processes that facilitate their pre-concentration in the mantle and their later remobilisation to the crust are not yet well-established. Here, we report new results on the petrography, major-element, and siderophile- and chalcophile-element composition of native Ni, base metal sulphides (BMS), and spinels in a suite of well-characterised, highly metasomatised and weakly serpentinised peridotite xenoliths from the Bultfontein kimberlite in the Kaapvaal Craton, and integrate these data with published analyses. Pentlandite in polymict breccias (failed kimberlite intrusions at mantle depth) has lower trace-element contents (e.g., median total PGE 0.72 ppm) than pentlandite in phlogopite peridotites and Mica-Amphibole-Rutile-Ilmenite-Diopside (MARID) rocks (median 1.6 ppm). Spinel is an insignificant host for all elements except Zn, and BMS and native Ni account for typically <25% of the bulk-rock PGE and Au. High bulk-rock Te/S suggest a role for PGE-bearing tellurides, which, along with other compounds of metasomatic origin, may host the missing As, Ag, Cd, Sb, Te and, in part, Bi that are unaccounted for by the main assemblage.
The close spatial relationship between BMS and metasomatic minerals (e.g., phlogopite, ilmenite) indicates that the lithospheric mantle beneath Bultfontein was resulphidised by metasomatism after initial melt depletion during stabilisation of the cratonic lithosphere. Newly-formed BMS are markedly PGE-poor, as total PGE contents are <4.2 ppm in pentlandite from seven samples, compared to >26 ppm in BMS in other peridotite xenoliths from the Kaapvaal craton. This represents a strong dilution of the original PGE abundances at the mineral scale, perhaps starting from precursor PGE alloy and small volumes of residual BMS. The latter may have been the precursor to native Ni, which occurs in an unusual Ni-enriched zone in a harzburgite and displays strongly variable, but overall high PGE abundances (up to 81 ppm). In strongly metasomatised peridotites, Au is enriched relative to Pd, and was probably added along with S. A combination of net introduction of S, Au +/− PGE from the asthenosphere and intra-lithospheric redistribution, in part sourced from subducted materials, during metasomatic events may have led to sulphide precipitation at ~80–120 km beneath Bultfontein. This process locally enhanced the metallogenic fertility of this lithospheric reservoir. Further mobilisation of the metal budget stored in these S-rich domains and upwards transport into the crust may require interaction with sulphide-undersaturated melts that can dissolve sulphides along with the metals they store.
Towards the goal to understand the role of land-surface processes over the Indian sub-continent, a series of soil-moisture sensitivity simulations have been performed using a non-hydrostatic regional climate model COSMO-CLM. The experiments were driven by the lateral boundary conditions provided by the ERA-Interim (ECMWF) reanalysis. The simulation results show that the pre-monsoonal soil moisture has a significant influence on the monsoonal precipitation. Both, positive and negative soil-moisture precipitation (S-P) feedback processes are of importance. The negative S-P feedback process is especially influential in the western and the northern parts of India.
The modern precipitation balance in southeastern (SE) Brazil is regulated by the South American summer Monsoon and threatened by global climate change. On glacial-interglacial timescales, monsoon intensity was strongly controlled by precession-forced changes in insolation. To date, relatively little is known about the spatiotemporal distribution of tropical precipitation in SE Brazil and the resulting variability of fluvial discharge on glacial-interglacial timescales. Here, we present X-ray diffraction-derived mineralogical data for the 150–70 ka period (marine isotope stage (MIS) 6 to MIS 5) from the Doce River basin. This area was sensitive to changes in monsoonal precipitation intensity due to its proximity to the South Atlantic Convergence Zone. The data, obtained from a marine sediment core (M125-55–7) close to the Doce river mouth (20°S), show pronounced changes in the Doce River suspension load’s mineralogical composition on glacial-interglacial and precessional timescales. While the ratio of silicates to carbonates displays precession-paced changes, the mineralogical composition of the carbonate-free fraction discriminates between two assemblages which strongly vary between glacial and interglacial time scales, with precession-forced variability only visible in MIS 5. The first assemblage, dominated by high contents of kaolinite and gibbsite, indicates intensified lowland erosion of mature tropical soils. The second one, characterized by higher contents of the well-ordered illite, quartz and albite, points to intensified erosion of immature soils in the upper Doce Basin. High kaolinite contents in the silicate fraction prevailed in late MIS 6 and indicate pronounced lowland soil erosion along a steepened topographic gradient. The illite-rich mineral assemblage was more abundant in MIS 5, particularly during times of high austral summer insolation, indicating strong monsoonal rainfall and intense physical erosion in the upper catchment. When the summer monsoon weakened in times of lower insolation, the mineral assemblage was dominated by kaolinite again, indicative of lower precipitation and runoff in the upper catchment and dominant lowland erosion.
The impact of precipitation in shallow cumulus convection on the moisture variance and third-order moments of moisture is investigated with the help of large-eddy simulations. Three idealized simulations based on the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean field experiment are analyzed: one nonprecipitating, on a smaller domain, and two precipitating cases, on a larger domain with different initial profiles of moisture. Results show that precipitation and the associated cloud organization lead to increased generation of higher-order moments (HOM) of moisture compared to the nonprecipitating case. To understand the physical mechanism and the role of individual processes in this increase, budgets of HOM of moisture are studied. Microphysics directly decreases the generation of HOM of moisture, but this effect is not dominant. The gradient production term is identified as the main source term in the HOM budgets. The influence of the gradient production term on moisture variance is further examined separately in cloud active and nonactive regions. The main contribution to the gradient production term comes from the smaller cloud active region because of the stronger moisture flux. Further analyses of the horizontal and vertical cross sections of moisture fluctuations show that the precipitation-induced downdrafts and updrafts are the main mechanism for the generation of moisture variance. The variance increase is linked to shallow dry downdraft regions with horizontal divergence in the subcloud layer, moist updrafts with horizontal convergence in the bulk cloud layer, and finally wider areas of horizontal divergence in the cloud inversion layer.
Teleconnections of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in a multi-model ensemble of QBO-resolving models
(2021)
The Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO) dominates the interannual variability of the tropical stratosphere and influences other regions of the atmosphere. The high predictability of the QBO implies that its teleconnections could lead to increased skill of seasonal and decadal forecasts provided the relevant mechanisms are accurately represented in models. Here modelling and sampling uncertainties of QBO teleconnections are examined using a multi-model ensemble of QBO-resolving atmospheric general circulation models that have carried out a set of coordinated experiments as part of the Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate (SPARC) QBO initiative (QBOi). During Northern Hemisphere winter, the stratospheric polar vortex in most of these models strengthens when the QBO near 50 hPa is westerly and weakens when it is easterly, consistent with, but weaker than, the observed response. These weak responses are likely due to model errors, such as systematically weak QBO amplitudes near 50 hPa, affecting the teleconnection. The teleconnection to the North Atlantic Oscillation is less well captured overall, but of similar strength to the observed signal in the few models that do show it. The models do not show clear evidence of a QBO teleconnection to the Northern Hemisphere Pacific-sector subtropical jet.
This thesis aims to analyse in a first step the physical and chemical properties of soil profiles along pedomorphological transects in different land used conditions (protected, partly protected as well as cultivated and pastured areas) in North West Benin and in South East Burkina Faso. The information about soils, which are carried out in consideration of the pedogenesis processes like weathering types, saprolitisation, formation of laterite crusts and denudation within the planation surfaces are therefore correlated in a second step with the structure and dynamic of woody plant around individual soil profiles. The relationship soil properties and woody plant is investigated in order to assess the reciprocal influence between the diversity of woody plants and soil characteristics within a small scale study and under different land use conditions.
A common vertical and lateral differentiation of physical and chemical properties regardless of the partly protected, protected and cultivated status of the sites can be noticed. Thus, in the cultivated site of Kikideni and in the partly protected zone of Natiabouani (South East Burkina Faso) sandy loam and sandy clay loam soil surfaces are widespread because of the occurrence of similar erosion processes like sheet wash, rill and gully erosion while in the central part of the Pendjari National Park loamy soil textures are prevailing. In fact, the steepness of the relief and the length of the slopes in the Pendjari Park seem to limit the development of some erosion forms as gully. Furthermore, the classification of soils reflects the variation of pedological processes along the transects and thus the occurrence of different soil types. The status of the sites may play an insignificant role in the differentiation of soil properties within the scale of small pedomorphological transects. A direct comparison of the vegetation type in the land use respectively partly protected and in the total protected sites (National Park of Pendjari) reveals a transition from the shrub savanna to the tree savanna. In conclusion it is important to insist on the fact that the variations of soil parameters within small slopes and the different sites are more conditioned by varying erosion processes and drainage conditions than the status protected or land use sites while the composition and diversity of plants is influenced by the status of the sites, the prevailing management tools, the pedogenetic conditions as well as the presence of wild animals like elephants. The ordination diagram shows that the organic matter is better correlated to the subgroup representing principally the sites of the hunting zone of the Pendjari Park and might be an explaining factor to the distribution of these sample sites groups. CEC ratios in the partly protected site of Natiabouani represent the highest measured in all sites. Nevertheless, statistical analysis of the CCA (canonical correspondence analysis) indicates generally a low correlation. This tendency is consolidated by the Monte Carlo test (p=0.14) which is a good indicator of species and environmental conditions. The detailed analysis of soil properties and the vegetation dynamic as well as their relationship within small pedomorphological transects represent an important pedological and botanical data collection involving different compartments. This thesis contributes to the better understanding of the savanna landscapes of West Africa and may provide essential scientific background for each development project directed towards interdisciplinary and integrative researches.
One of the most important events in human history occurred during the Early Pleistocene: the dispersal of early hominins out of Africa and into Europe and Asia. In Western Europe, the earliest evidences of the genus Homo have been found in the Baza Basin, at the sites of Orce in the SE of the Iberian Peninsula. These sites contain fossils and lithic industry dated approximately as 1.4–1.3 Ma.While hominin remains and artifacts at Orce, as well as the accompanying fauna, have been extensively studied, the properties and evolution of the Early Pleistocene vegetation in the basin remain unknown. The general effect of climate change on the expansion of early hominins from Africa into Eurasia still remains unclear. It is not known if the Early Pleistocene climate changes and the development of glacials periods led to the extirpation of European communities, or if those communities were able to endure and persist through such adverse climatic periods. This open question highlights the need for climate and environmental analyses for the time before, during and after the first presence of Homo in Europe. This PhD thesis contributes to that need by the presentation of the first long pollen record of the Baza Basin, where the oldest hominin sites in Western Europe are found.
The current state of research about ancient settlements within the Nile Delta allows the hypothesizing of fluvial connections to ancient settlements all over the Nile Delta. Previous studies suggest a larger Nile branch close to Kom el-Gir, an ancient settlement hill in the northwestern Nile Delta. To contribute new knowledge to this little-known site and prove this hypothesis, this study aims at using small-scale paleogeographic investigations to reconstruct an ancient channel system in the surroundings of Kom el-Gir. The study pursues the following: (1) the identification of sedimentary environments via stratigraphic and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyses of the sediments, (2) the detection of fluvial elements via electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and (3) the synthesis of all results to provide a comprehensive reconstruction of a former fluvial network in the surroundings of Kom el-Gir. Therefore, auger core drillings, pXRF analyses, and ERT were conducted to examine the sediments within the study area. Based on the evaluation of the results, the study presents clear evidence of a former channel system in the surroundings of Kom el-Gir. Thereby, it is the combination of both methods, 1-D corings and 2-D ERT profiles, that derives a more detailed illustration of previous environmental conditions which other studies can adopt. Especially within the Nile Delta which comprises a large number of smaller and larger ancient settlement hills, this study's approach can contribute to paleogeographic investigations to improve the general understanding of the former fluvial landscape.
The Late Cretaceous is known to be mostly affected by warm periods interrupted temporarily by a number of cooling events. The reconstruction of the paleoclimatic conditions during a period of high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is of great importance for the creation of future climate models. We applied the recently developed method reconstructing the SST from the TEX86 (TetraEther indeX of tetraethers consisting of 86 carbon atoms).
The sample material used for the present study was obtained from the tropical Late Cretaceous southern Tethys upwelling system (Negev/Israel), lasting from the Late Santonian to the Early Maastrichtian (~ 85 to 68 Ma). On the core samples from the Shefela basin, representing the outer belt of the upwelling system and the outcrop profile from the open mine Mishor Rotem (Efe Syncline), representing the inner belt, various bulk geochemical and biomarker studies were performed in this thesis.
Derived from TEX86 data, a significant long-term SST cooling trend from 36.0 to 29.3 °C is recognized during the Late Santonian and the Early Campanian in the southern Tethys margin. This is consistent with the opening and deepening of the Equatorial Atlantic Gateway (EAG) and the intrusion of cooler deep water from the southern Atlantic Ocean influencing the global SSTs and also the Tethys Ocean. Furthermore, the cooler near shore SST usually found in modern upwelling systems could be verified in case of the ancient upwelling system investigated in the present study. The calculated mean SST in the inner belt (27.7 °C) represented in the Efe Syncline was 1.5 °C cooler in comparison to the more seaward located outer belt (Shefela basin).
Moreover, geochemical and biomarker analyses were used to identify both the accumulation of high amounts of phosphate in the PM and good preservation of organic matter (OM) in the lower part of the OSM section. Total organic carbon (TOC) contents are highly variable over the whole profile reaching from 0.6 % in the MM, to 24.5 % in the OSM. Total iron (TFe) varies from 0.1 % in the PM to 3.3 % in the OSM and total sulfur (TS) varies between 0.1 % in the MM and 3.4 % in the OSM. Different correlations of TS, TOC and TFe were used to identify the conditions during the deposition of the different facies types. Natural sulfurization was found to play a key role in the preservation of the OM particularly in the lower part of the OSM. Samples from the OSM and the PM were deposited under dysoxic to anoxic conditions and iron limitation lasted during the deposition of the OSM and the PM, which effected the incorporation of sulfur into OM.
Phosphorus is highly accumulated in the sediments of the PM with a mean proportion of 11.5 % total phosphorus (TP), which is drastically reduced to a mean value of 0.9 % in the OSM and the MM. From the correlation of the bulk geochemical parameters TOC/TOCOR ratio and TP a major contribution of sulfate reducing bacteria to the phosphate deposition is concluded. This interrelation has previously been investigated in recent coastal upwelling systems off Peru, Chile, California and Namibia. This was further supported by the analysis of branched and monounsaturated fatty acids indicating the occurrence of sulfate reducing and sulfide oxidizing bacteria during the deposition.
According to the results from the analysis of n-alkanes and C27- to C29-steranes up to 95 % of the OM was of marine origin.
Organic sulfur compounds (OSC) were a major compound class in the aromatic hydrocarbon fraction and n-Alkyl and isoprenoid thiophenes were the most abundant, with highest amounts found for 2-methyl-5-tridecyl-thiophene (28 µg/g TOC). The relatively high abundance of ββ-C35 hopanoid thiophenes and epithiosteranes is equivalent to an incorporation of sulfur during the early stages of diagenesis.
Moreover, the geochemical parameters δ13Corg, δ15Norg, C/N and the pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratio, were studied for reconstruction of seafloor and water column depositional environments. The high C/N ratio along with relatively low values of δ15Norg (4 ‰ to 6 ‰) and δ13Corg (-29 ‰ to -28 ‰) are consistent with a significant preferential loss of nitrogen-rich organic compounds during diagenesis. Oxygen-depleted conditions lasted during the deposition of the PM and the bottom of the OSM, reflected by the low Pr/Ph ratio of 0.11–0.7. In the upper part of the OSM and the MM the conditions changed from anoxic to dysoxic or oxic conditions. This environmental trend is consistent with co-occurring foraminiferal assemblages in the studied succession and implies that the benthic species in the Negev sequence were adapted to persistent minimum oxygen conditions by performing complete denitrification as recently found in many modern benthic foraminifera.
Furthermore, the anammox process could have influenced the nitrogen composition of the sediments. In this anaerobically process nitrite and ammonia are converted to molecular nitrogen.
Nucleation of aerosol particles from trace atmospheric vapours is thought to provide up to half of global cloud condensation nuclei. Aerosols can cause a net cooling of climate by scattering sunlight and by leading to smaller but more numerous cloud droplets, which makes clouds brighter and extends their lifetimes. Atmospheric aerosols derived from human activities are thought to have compensated for a large fraction of the warming caused by greenhouse gases. However, despite its importance for climate, atmospheric nucleation is poorly understood. Recently, it has been shown that sulphuric acid and ammonia cannot explain particle formation rates observed in the lower atmosphere. It is thought that amines may enhance nucleation, but until now there has been no direct evidence for amine ternary nucleation under atmospheric conditions. Here we use the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber at CERN and find that dimethylamine above three parts per trillion by volume can enhance particle formation rates more than 1,000-fold compared with ammonia, sufficient to account for the particle formation rates observed in the atmosphere. Molecular analysis of the clusters reveals that the faster nucleation is explained by a base-stabilization mechanism involving acid–amine pairs, which strongly decrease evaporation. The ion-induced contribution is generally small, reflecting the high stability of sulphuric acid–dimethylamine clusters and indicating that galactic cosmic rays exert only a small influence on their formation, except at low overall formation rates. Our experimental measurements are well reproduced by a dynamical model based on quantum chemical calculations of binding energies of molecular clusters, without any fitted parameters. These results show that, in regions of the atmosphere near amine sources, both amines and sulphur dioxide should be considered when assessing the impact of anthropogenic activities on particle formation.
In NE-Burkina Fasos wurden die Boden- und Reliefgenese (Erkundung des oberflächennahen Untergrunds, OSL-Datierungen) und die aktuelle Geomorphodynamik (Beregnungs- und Infiltrationsversuche, Luftbildauswertungen) der sahelischen Altdünenlandschaft und der angrenzenden endorheischen Becken untersucht. Zentrale Fragestellungen sind (1) die Altersstellung des häufig als erg récent bezeichneten Sekundärdünenreliefs auf dem Dünentop der spätpleistozänen Dünenzüge, (2) die jüngere Relief- und Bodenentwicklung vor dem Hintergrund der langen Nutzungsgeschichte (Hirsefeldbau und Viehzucht), und (3) die qualitative und quantitative Erfassung der aktuellen, denudativen und linearerosiven Prozesse, vorwiegend auf den Altdünen, in Abhängigkeit von Substrat, Oberflächenzustand und Nutzung. Die Akkumulation der Sekundärdünen fand während der spätpleistozänen ariden Periode (Ogolien) statt (19,6±1,1 ka und 23,8±1,6 ka v. H). Gleiches gilt für die äolischen Liegendsedimente der Nordabdachungen der Dünenzüge (21,9±2,1 ka und 23,2±2,1 ka v. H.). Unter Einbeziehung früherer Untersuchungen (ALBERT et al. 1997) ergibt sich daraus, dass sowohl die Dünenzüge an sich als auch ihr asymmetrisches Relief im N-S-Profil bereits während des Ogolien angelegt wurden. Die holozäne Landschaftsentwicklung ist durch Bodenbildung in den Altdünen und durch die fluvial-limnische Sedimentation in den endorheischen Becken (Mares) gekennzeichnet. Der häufig in der Literatur genannte aride Einschnitt um 8,2 ka v. H. kann weder absolutchronologisch noch paläopedologisch nachgewiesen werden. Vielmehr deutet die Verbreitung der Cambic bis Luvic-Chromic Arenosols, über dichtem Untergrund auch Gleyic Arenosols auf standörtlich unterschiedliche Bodenbildungsintensitäten und -prozesse in Abhängigkeit von Wasserhaushalt und geomorphodynamischer Beeinflussung hin. Die jüngere Landschaftsgeschichte ist zunehmend durch Landnutzung beeinflusst. Zwar konnte mit OSL-Altern von 4,5±0,2 ka und 4,7±0,8 ka v. H. lokal Sedimentumlagerung im Zusammenhang mit Later Stone Age-Aktivitäten nachgewiesen werden, für anthropogen induzierte Bodenerosion in größerem Umfang fehlen indessen die Hinweise. Der Wandel zur Kulturlandschaft setzte mit der eisenzeitlichen Siedlungsperiode ein. Kennzeichnend für diese, von der Zeitenwende bis zum 15. Jh. dauernden Epoche, ist der Nachweis des verbreiteten Hirseanbaus auf den Altdünen. Degradierte Böden auf den ehemaligen Feldern und mehrschichtige Kolluvien unterhalb, flächenhafte Bodendegradation in der Umgebung der alten Siedlungen sowie zunehmender Sedimenteintrag in die Mares sind die wichtigsten Indizien des 'human impact' dieser Epoche. Der Bezug zwischen der Nutzungsgeschichte und den korrelaten Sedimenten konnte im Einzelfall absolutzeitlich hergestellt werden (1064-979 cal. BP 14C). Aktuelle Bodendegradation findet in der Sahelzone sowohl fluvialerosiv als auch äolisch statt. Die fluvialerosive Bodenerosion überwiegt dabei flächenmäßig - auf den Glacis durch alle Prozesse des flächenhaften bis linearen Abtrags sowie auf den Altdünen überall dort, wo Bodenkrusten Oberflächenabfluss ermöglichen. Die feldbaulich genutzten Altdünenbereiche auf der Südseite der Dünenzüge und entlang der Nordhänge mit ihren pedogenetisch verfestigten Sanden und verkrusteten Oberflächen weisen stark reduzierte Infiltrationsraten auf und produzieren mit runoff-Koeffizienten von 21-94 % verstärkt Oberflächenabfluss. Neben flächenhafter Denudation tritt hier, überwiegend in Verbindung mit Trittbelastung, gehäuft Rinnen- und Gully-Erosion auf. Aufgrund der Verfestigung bieten diese Böden der äolischen Dynamik kaum Angriffsflächen. Einzig die kaum konsolidierten Sekundärdünen auf dem Dünentop sind die Landschaftseinheit mit dominierender Bodenerosion durch äolische Prozesse.
So-called medicanes (Mediterranean hurricanes) are meso-scale, marine, and warm-core Mediterranean cyclones that exhibit some similarities to tropical cyclones. The strong cyclonic winds associated with medicanes threaten the highly populated coastal areas around the Mediterranean basin. To reduce the risk of casualties and overall negative impacts, it is important to improve the understanding of medicanes with the use of numerical models. In this study, we employ an atmospheric limited-area model (COSMO-CLM) coupled with a one-dimensional ocean model (1-D NEMO-MED12) to simulate medicanes. The aim of this study is to assess the robustness of the coupled model in simulating these extreme events. For this purpose, 11 historical medicane events are simulated using the atmosphere-only model, COSMO-CLM, and coupled model, with different setups (horizontal atmospheric grid-spacings of 0.44°, 0.22°, and 0.08°; with/without spectral nudging, and an ocean grid-spacing of 1/12°). The results show that at high-resolution, the coupled model is able to not only simulate most of medicane events but also improve the track length, core temperature, and wind speed of simulated medicanes compared to the atmosphere-only simulations. The results suggest that the coupled model is more proficient for systemic and detailed studies of historical medicane events, and that this model can be an effective tool for future projections.
Air-sea feedbacks between the Mediterranean Sea and the atmosphere on various temporal and spatial scales play a major role in the Mediterranean regional climate system and beyond. The Mediterranean Sea is a source of moisture due to excess evaporation and, on a long-term average, is associated with a warming of the lower atmosphere in contact with the sea surface due to heat loss at the air-sea interface. The complex air-sea interactions and feedbacks in the Mediterranean basin strongly modulate the sea surface fluxes and favor several cyclogenetic activities under certain meteorological conditions. Examples of such cyclonic activities are medicanes (Mediterranean hurricanes) and Vb-cyclones. Medicanes are mesoscale, marine, and warm-core Mediterranean cyclones that exhibit some similarities to tropical cyclones, while Vb-cyclones are extra-tropical cyclones, that propagate from the Western Mediterranean Sea and travel across the Eastern European Alps into the Central European region. Extremely strong winds and heavy precipitation associated with these cyclones can lead to severe destruction and flooding. Changes in the intensity and frequency of these cyclones are also projected under changing future climate conditions, where the Mediterranean region has been identified as a hotspot in terms of rising temperatures.
The development of high-resolution regional climate models (RCMs) has progressed our understanding of the processes characterizing the Mediterranean climate. However, large uncertainties still exist regarding the estimates of air-sea fluxes, which, in turn, affect the simulation of the Mediterranean climate. Several factors can be attributed to such discrepancies, such as data quality, temporal and spatial resolution, and the misrepresentation of physical processes. To overcome some of these inconsistencies and deficiencies of the existing climate simulations, a new high-resolution atmosphere-ocean regional coupled model (AORCM) has been developed to simulate the air-sea feedback mechanisms. This coupled model incorporates the coupling of RCM COSMO-CLM (CCLM) and the regional ocean model NEMO-MED12 for the Mediterranean Sea (MED) as well as NEMO-NORDIC for the North- and Baltic Sea (NORDIC). Several experiments were performed using both the coupled and uncoupled models to investigate the impact of air-sea interactions and feedbacks on sea surface heat fluxes, wind speed, and on the formation of Mediterranean cyclones (i.e., medicanes and Vb-cyclones). These experiments were performed using different horizontal atmospheric grid resolutions to analyze the effect of resolution on sea surface heat fluxes, wind speed, and the development of medicanes.
The results of the present study indicate that a finer atmospheric grid resolution ([is as appreciated as]9 vs. [is as appreciated as]50 km) improved the wind speed simulations (particularly near coastal areas) and subsequently improved the simulations of the turbulent heat fluxes. Both parameters were better simulated in the coupled simulations than in the uncoupled simulations, but coupling introduced a warm SST bias in winter. Radiation fluxes were slightly better represented in coarse-grid simulations than in fine-grid simulations. However, the higher-resolution coupled model could reproduce the observed net outgoing total surface heat flux over the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to that sub diurnal SST variations have a strong effect on sub-daily heat fluxes and wind speed but minor effects at longer timescales. Regarding the impact of atmospheric grid resolution ([is as appreciated as]50, 25, and [is as appreciated as]9 km) and ocean coupling on medicanes, it was detected that the coupled model with a finer atmospheric grid ([is as appreciated as]9 km) was able to not only reproduce most medicane events, but also improved the track length, warm core, and wind speed compared to the uncoupled model. The coupled model with the coarse-grid ([is as appreciated as]50 and [is as appreciated as]25 km) did not show any improvement in simulating medicanes compared to the uncoupled model. The spectral nudging technique, applied on the wind components above 850 hPa in the interior domain to keep large-scale circulation close to the driving data (i.e., ERAInterim reanalysis), improved the accuracy of the times and locations of generated medicanes, but no improvement was found in the track length and intensity.
Concerning the role of the Mediterranean Sea coupling on Vb cyclones, the investigation showed that atmosphere-ocean coupling had an overall positive impact, although with a strong case-by-case variation, on the trajectories and intensity of Vb-cyclones as a result of the variation in moisture source for each event. In general, all model configurations could replicate Vbcyclones, their trajectories, and associated precipitation fields. The average structure of the precipitation field was best represented in the coupled simulations. Coupling of the North- and Baltic Seas also showed an improvement in some of the simulated Vb-cyclones.
The atmosphere-ocean coupling showed an overall positive impact on the simulation of sea surface heat fluxes and Mediterranean cyclones (medicanes and Vb-cyclones). Moreover, the representation of sea surface heat fluxes, wind speed, and medicane features was more realistic when using a finer atmospheric grid resolution (less than 10 km). The present study suggests that the combination of a finer atmospheric grid resolution together with atmosphere-ocean coupling is advantageous in simulating the Mediterranean climate system.
Spatial interpolation of precipitation data is uncertain. How important is this uncertainty and how can it be considered in evaluation of high-resolution probabilistic precipitation forecasts? These questions are discussed by experimental evaluation of the COSMO consortium's limited-area ensemble prediction system COSMO-LEPS. The applied performance measure is the often used Brier skill score (BSS). The observational references in the evaluation are (a) analyzed rain gauge data by ordinary Kriging and (b) ensembles of interpolated rain gauge data by stochastic simulation. This permits the consideration of either a deterministic reference (the event is observed or not with 100% certainty) or a probabilistic reference that makes allowance for uncertainties in spatial averaging. The evaluation experiments show that the evaluation uncertainties are substantial even for the large area (41 300 km2) of Switzerland with a mean rain gauge distance as good as 7 km: the one- to three-day precipitation forecasts have skill decreasing with forecast lead time but the one- and two-day forecast performances differ not significantly.
Spatial interpolation of rain gauge data is important in forcing of hydrological simulations or evaluation of weather predictions, for example. The spatial density of available data sites is often changing with time. This paper investigates the application of statistical distance, like one minus common variance of time series, between data sites instead of geographical distance in interpolation. Here, as a typical representative of interpolation methods the inverse distance weighting interpolation is applied and the test data is daily precipitation observed in Austria. Choosing statistical distance instead of geographical distance in interpolation of an actually available coarse observation network yields more robust interpolation results at sites of a denser network with actually lacking observations. The performance enhancement is in or close to mountainous terrain. This has the potential to parsimoniously densify the currently available observation network. Additionally, the success further motivates search for conceptual rain-orography interaction models as components of spatial rain interpolation algorithms in mountainous terrain.

Geoelektrische Methoden sind weit verbreitet und werden häufig zur Erkundung des oberflächennahen Untergrundes eingesetzt. Angewendet werden standardmäßig meist nur linienhafte Anordnungen der Sender- und Empfängerelektroden, die nur wenige Zehner Meter lang sind. Hierdurch haben diese Methoden nur geringe Eindringtiefen. Um größere Eindringtiefen und 3-dimensionale Informationen über den Untergrund zu erhalten, sind in der vorgestellten Studie die Empfänger- und Senderdipole in mehr oder weniger regelmäßigen Abständen über das Untersuchungsgebiet verteilt worden. Mit jeder Empfängerstation sind kontinuierlich die elektrischen Spannungen in bis zu drei Richtungen aufgezeichnet worden. Für die Einspeisungen wurde ein Rechtecksignal verwendet, das sich gut von den Störfrequenzen und den natürlichen Spannungen abhebt. Die Richtungen der Einspeisedipole sind entsprechend den örtlichen Gegebenheiten, jedoch möglichst parallel zu den Messrichtungen, gewählt worden. Zur Auswertung der erhobenen Messdaten wurde ein Programmpaket entwickelt, das eine weitestgehend automatisierte Auswertung der Daten erlaubt. Die Bestimmung der scheinbaren spezifischen Widerstände und ihrer Messfehler wurde an den fouriertransformierten Datenzeitreihen durchgeführt. Hierdurch konnten Störeinflüsse minimiert werden und es wurde möglich selbst stark verrauschte Datensätze auszuwerten. Um die erhobenen Daten interpretieren zu können sind die berechneten scheinbaren spezifischen Widerstände als Grundlage für Inversionen und Modellstudien verwendet worden. Die oben beschriebene Methode wurde im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit in zwei unterschiedlichen Messgebieten angewandt.
Messgebiet im Hohen Vogelsberg
Im Juli 2007 wurde damit begonnen, die Forschungsbohrung Sichenhausen-Eschwald im Hohen Vogelsberg abzuteufen. Ziel war es, Informationen über den strukturellen Aufbau des größten geschlossenen Vulkankomplexes Mitteleuropas zu gewinnen. Die Gesteinsansprache der Tiefbohrung lieferte bereits relativ früh Hinweise darauf, dass ein großer magmatischer Körper aufgeschlossen wurde.Aufgrund der begrenzten räumlichen Aussagekraft der Bohrung und fehlender Geländebefunde war es nicht möglich, den Mechanismus der Platznahme und die Größe des Körpers näher zu beschreiben. Die Kampagne hatte das Ziel diese Lücke zu schließen und ein 3-dimensionales Modell des Untergrundes zu erstellen.In dem annähernd quadratischen Untersuchungsgebiet, das eine Fläche von ca. 25 $km²$ aufweist, wurden 20 Datenlogger zur Aufzeichnung der elektrischen Spannungen aufgebaut. Die Empfängerdipole waren zwischen 20 m und 30 m lang. Insgesamt wurden 36 Stromeinspeisungen mit Stromstärken zwischen 28 A und 40 A an 16 unterschiedlichen Positionen für jeweils 2 bis 3 verschiedene Dipolrichtungen vorgenommen. Die Einspeisedipole waren zwischen 100 m und 300 m lang. Insgesamt konnten 1.439 scheinbare spezifische Widerstände berechnet werden.Die Ergebnisse der Modellierungen und der Inversion der Daten zeigen, dass mit der Forschungsbohrung ein domartiger Körper angebohrt wurde. Anhand der Ergebnisse kann die räumliche Ausdehnung des Körpers eingegrenzt und ein vorher noch nicht kartierter Gang nachgewiesen werden.
Messgebiet im Bereich der Kinzigtalsperre
Das etwa Ost-West verlaufende Kinzigtal bildet die naturräumliche und geologische Grenze zwischen dem vulkanischen Vogelsberg im Norden und dem, in diesem Bereich aus Sedimentgesteinen aufgebauten, Spessart im Süden.Die zwischen Steinau a. d. Str. und Bad Soden-Salmünster befindliche Kinzigtalsperre dient dem Hochwasserschutz und der Regulierung des Pegels der Kinzig bei Dürreperioden. Der aufgestaute See ist relativ flach und weist im Normalstau maximale Tiefen von ca. 6~m auf. Der Stausee ist jedoch über weite Teile etwa 4~m tief. In dieser Kampagne betrug der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Empfängerstationen etwa 100 m bis 300 m. Es wurde aufgrund der beengten Platzverhältnisse eine Dipollänge von ca. 48 m für die Einspeise- und die Empfängerdipole im Messgebiet gewählt. Insgesamt wurden 14 Empfängerstationen im Messgebiet aufgebaut, von denen sich Neun auf dem Seegrund befanden. Das Messraster orientierte sich am vermuteten Verlauf der Kinzigtalstörung. An 8 Positionen sind in 21 Richtungen elektrische Ströme mit Stärken zwischen 2,2 A und 40 A in den Untergrund eingespeist worden. Es konnten 536 scheinbare spezifische Widerstände berechnet werden. Ziel war es, den Verlauf der Störung näher zu bestimmen und die Tiefe der im Untergrund vorhandenen salinären Grundwässer zu bestimmen. Die Bestimmung des Verlaufs der Kinzigtalstörung sowie die Tiefenbestimmung der salinären Grundwässer war mit den erhobenen Daten jedoch nicht möglich.
In Belize, which is well known for the Belize Barrier Reef and its offshore atolls, coastal lagoons are frequent morphological features along the coast. They represent transitional environments between siliciclastic and carbonate settings. In order to shed light into the Holocene evolution of coastal lagoon environments, five localities along the central coast of Belize were selected as coring sites. These include four coastal lagoons and one marsh area, namely Mantatee Lagoon, Mullins River Beach, Colson Point Lagoon, Commerce Bight Lagoon and Sapodilla Lagoon. A total of 26 sediment cores with core lengths ranging from 109 cm to 500 cm, were drilled using a Lanesky-vibracorer. Overall, 73 m of Holocene sediments and Pleistocene soil were recovered. Together with 58 radiocarbon dates the sediments reveal details on the sediment architecture and depositional features of the localities.
Marine inundation of the mainland and coastal lagoon formation started around 6 kyrs cal BP.
As a response to sea-level rise during the Holocene transgression, facies retrograded towards the coast, as seen in marginal marine overlying brackish mollusk faunas. Evidence for late Holocene progradation of facies due to sea-level stagnation is largely lacking. The occurrence of landward thinning sand beds, hiatuses and marine fauna in lagoonal successions are indications of event (overwash) sedimentation. Sediments recovered are largely of Holocene age (<7980 cal BP), overlying Pleistocene sections. Analyses of sediment composition and texture, radiocarbon dating and mollusk shell identification were used to describe and correlate sedimentary facies.
XRD analyses have identified quartz as the dominant mineral, with the Maya Mountains as main source of coastal lagoon sediments. The most common sedimentary facies include peat and peaty sediment, mud, sand, and poorly sorted sediments. Pleistocene soil forms the basement of Holocene sediments. Holocene mud represents lagoon background permanent sedimentation.
Peats and peat-rich sequences were deposited in mangrove swamp environments, whereas sandy facies mainly occur in the shoreface, beach, barriers, bars, barrier spits and overwash deposits. Facies successions could be identified for each locality, but it has proven difficult to correlate the stratigraphic sequences, especially among localities. These differences among the five locations studied suggest that apart from regional influence such as sea-level rise, local environmental factors such as small-scale variation in geomorphology and resulting facies heterogeneity, connectivity of the lagoon with the sea, antecedent topography and river discharge, were responsible for coastal sedimentation and lagoon development in the Holocene of Belize.
Faunal composition and distribution patterns of mollusk assemblages from 20 shell concentrations in cores collected in coastal lagoons, a mangrove-fringed tidal inlet and the marginal marine area (shallow subtidal) show considerable variation due to environmental heterogeneity and the interplay of several environmental factors in the course of the mid-late Holocene (ca. 6000 cal BP to modern). The investigated fauna ≥2 mm comprises 2246 bivalve, gastropod and 11 scaphopod specimens. Fifty-three mollusk species, belonging to 42 families, were identified. The bivalve Anomalocardia cuneimeris and cerithid gastropods are the dominant species and account for 78% of the total fauna. Diversity indices are low in concentrations from lagoons and relatively high in the marginal marine and tidal inlet areas.
Based on cluster analysis and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), seven lagoonal assemblages and three marginal marine/tidal inlet assemblages were defined. A separation between lagoonal and marginal marine/tidal inlet assemblages seen in ordination indicates a lagoon-onshore gradient. The statistical separation among lagoonal assemblages demonstrates environmental changes during the Holocene evolution of the coastal lagoons, which is probably related to the formation of barriers and spits. The controlling factors of species distribution patterns are difficult to figure out, probably due to the heterogeneity of the barrier-lagoon systems and the interaction of paleoecological and paleoenvironmental factors. In addition to the taxonomic analysis, a taphonomic analysis of 1827 valves of A. cuneimeris from coastal lagoons was carried out. There is no relationship between depth and age of shells and their taphonomic condition. Size-frequency distributions and right-left valve ratios of A. cuneimeris suggest that valves were not transported over long distances but were deposited parautochthonously in their original habitat. Shells from tidal inlet and marginal marine environments were also predominantly deposited in their original habitats.
Since the Belize coast was repeatedly affected by hurricanes and the paleohurricane record for this region is poor, the sediment cores have been examined in order to identify storm deposits.
The paleohurricane record presented in this study spans the past 8000 years and exhibits three periods with increased evidences of hurricane strikes occurring at 6000-4900 cal yr BP, 4200-3600 cal yr BP and 2200-1500 cal yr BP. Two earlier events around 7100 and 7900 cal yr BP and more recent events around 180 cal yr BP and during modern times have been detected. Sand layers, redeposited corals and lagoon shell concentrations have been used as proxies for storm deposition. Additionally, hiatuses and reversed ages may indicate storm influence. While sand layers and corals represent overwash deposits, the lagoon shell concentrations, which mainly comprise the bivalve Anomalocardia cuneimeris and cerithid gastropods, have been deposited due to changes in lagoon salinity during and after storm landfalls. Comparison with other studies reveals similarities with one record from Belize, but hardly any matches with other published records. The potential for paleotempestology reconstructions of the barrier-lagoon complexes along the central Belize coast differs depending on geomorphology, and deposition of washovers in the lagoon basins is limited, probably due to the interplay of biological, geological and geomorphological processes.
Die Revolutionen des Meeres
(1843)
Floodplains play an important role in the terrestrial water cycle and are very important for biodiversity. Therefore, an improved representation of the dynamics of floodplain water flows and storage in global hydrological and land surface models is required. To support model validation, we combined monthly time series of satellite-derived inundation areas (Papa et al., 2010) with data on irrigated rice areas (Portmann et al., 2010). In this way, we obtained global-scale time series of naturally inundated areas (NIA), with monthly values of inundation extent during 1993–2004 and a spatial resolution of 0.5°. For most grid cells (0.5°×0.5°), the mean annual maximum of NIA agrees well with the static open water extent of the Global Lakes and Wetlands database (GLWD) (Lehner and Döll, 2004), but in 16% of the cells NIA is larger than GLWD. In some regions, like Northwestern Europe, NIA clearly overestimates inundated areas, probably because of confounding very wet soils with inundated areas. In other areas, such as South Asia, it is likely that NIA can help to enhance GLWD. NIA data will be very useful for developing and validating a floodplain modeling algorithm for the global hydrological model WGHM. For example, we found that monthly NIAs correlate with observed river discharges.
Floodplains and other wetlands depend on seasonal river flooding and play an important role in the terrestrial water cycle. They influence evapotranspiration, water storage and river discharge dynamics, and they are the habitat of a large number of animals and plants. Thus, to assess the Earth’s system and its changes, a robust understanding of the dynamics of floodplain wetlands including inundated areas, water storages, and water flows is required.
This PhD thesis aims at improving the modeling of large floodplains and wetlands within the global-scale hydrological model WaterGAP, in order to better estimate water flows and water storage variations in different storage compartments. Within the scope of this thesis, I have developed a new approach to simulate dynamic floodplain inundation on a global-scale. This approach introduces an algorithm into WaterGAP, which has a spatial resolution of 0.5 degree (longitude and latitude) globally. The new approach uses subgrid-scale topography, based on high-resolution digital elevation models, to describe the floodplain elevation profile within each grid cell by applying a hypsographic curve. The approach comprises the modeling of a two-way river-floodplain interaction, the separate downstream water transport within the river and the floodplain – both with temporally and spatially different variable flow velocities – and the floodplain-groundwater interactions. The WaterGAP version that includes the floodplain algorithm, WaterGAP 2.2b_fpl, estimates floodplain and river water storage, inundated area and water table elevation, and also simulates backwater effects.
WaterGAP 2.2b_fpl was applied to model river discharge, river flow velocity, water storages, water heights and surface water extent on a global-scale. Model results were comprehensively validated against ground observations and remote sensing data. Overall, the modeled and observed data are in agreement. In comparison to the former version WaterGAP 2.2b, the model performance has improved significantly. The improvements are most remarkable in the Amazon River basin. However, the seasonal variation of surface water extent and total water storage anomalies are still too low in many regions on the globe when compared to observations. A detailed analysis of the simulated results suggests that in the Amazon River basin the introduction of backwater effects is important for realistically simulating water storages and surface water extent. Future efforts should focus on the simulation of water levels in order to better model the flow routing according to water slope. To further improve the model performance in specific regions, I recommend that the globally constant model parameters that affect inundation initiation, river-floodplain interaction, DEM correction for vegetation, and backwater amount at basin or subbasin-scale be adjusted.
WaterGAP (Water - Global Assessment and Prognosis) is a tool for modeling global water use and water availability. It participates among other models in the ISIMIP initiative (The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project). As part of this initiative, the water temperature should be calculated by participating hydrological models because it plays a vital role in many chemical, physical and biological processes. Therefore, the subject of this master thesis is to implement the physically based surface water temperature computation after VAN BEEK ET AL. (2012) and WANDERS ET AL. (2019) into WaterGAP and compare the results to the statistical regression approach by PUNZET ET AL. (2012). The computation is validated with observed water temperature data obtained from the GEMStat water quality database. The results are good for arctic and temperate latitudes. Surface water temperatures for tropical rivers are overestimated, most likely due to the overestimation of precipitation temperatures, incoming radiation and groundwater temperatures. The comparison with the regression model by PUNZET ET AL. (2012) shows matching results. The regression model even matches with WaterGAP results for most of the simulations of the future under climate change conditions, where the regression model should stop working due to changing environmental parameters. Several assumptions had to be made in order to implement the water temperature calculation in Water-GAP. These include, e.g., discharge temperatures for power plant cooling water, precipitation and surface runoff temperatures. For model improvements, perhaps three different values for the different regions of the world should be used to cool down the precipitation and surface runoff. The model could also be improved by refining the ice formation calculation, especially for the conditions when the ice melts, breaks up and is transported downstream. Furthermore, the feedback to the river channel roughness could be implemented if ice has formed. The WaterGAP model upgraded with the water temperature calculation will help the ISIMIP initiative in the future.
Polarization of Λ and ¯Λ hyperons along the beam direction in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2022)
The polarization of the Λ and ¯Λ hyperons along the beam (z) direction, Pz, has been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV recorded with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main contribution to Pz comes from elliptic flow-induced vorticity and can be characterized by the second Fourier sine coefficient Pz,s2=⟨Pzsin(2φ−2Ψ2)⟩, where φ is thhyperon azimuthal emission angle and Ψ2 is the elliptic flow plane angle. We report the measurement of Pz,s2 for different collision centralities and in the 30%–50% centrality interval as a function of the hyperon transverse momentum and rapidity. The Pz,s2 is positive similarly as measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au-Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV, with somewhat smaller amplitude in the semicentral collisions. This is the first experimental evidence of a nonzero hyperon Pz in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The comparison of the measured Pz,s2 with the hydrodynamic model calculations shows sensitivity to the competing contributions from thermal and the recently found shear-induced vorticity, as well as to whether the polarization is acquired at the quark-gluon plasma or the hadronic phase.

Nach dem aktuellen Stand der Klimaforschung, der vor allem im jüngsten Bericht des ‘Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’ (IPCC) zusammengefaßt ist, liegt es nahe, von einem menschlichen Einfluß auf das globale Klima zu sprechen.Wenn es nicht gelingt, die bestehenden Wirtschafts- und Lebensweisen zu ändern, droht mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit eine globale Klimaänderung in einem Ausmaß und in einer Geschwindigkeit, wie sie in den letzten 10.000 Jahren (im jüngeren Quartär) niemals aufgetreten ist. Um die deshalb zum Schutz des Klimasystems notwendigen Emissionsreduktionen zu bestimmen, wendet der Beirat das bereits 1995 in der Stellungnahme zur ersten Vertragsstaatenkonferenz genutzte Konzept der „Toleranzfenster“ erneut an. Dabei wird der für die kommenden 200 Jahre noch verbleibende Handlungsspielraum durch die normative Vorgabe von auf keinen Fall hinnehmbaren ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen „Leitplanken“ der Klimaentwicklung und der Klimapolitik ermittelt. Die Summe der Leitplanken definiert das „Toleranzfenster“ im Klimaschutz. Der Beirat geht davon aus, daß entsprechend dem „Berliner Mandat“ von 1995 und den in der Klimarahmenkonvention niedergelegten völkerrechtlichen Grundsätzen zunächst nur die in Anlage I aufgeführten Staaten (Industrieländer) durch konkrete Reduktionsziele in die Pflicht genommen werden. Für die Verteilung von Pflichten zwischen den einzelnen Ländern empfiehlt der Beirat den sogenannten „Pro-Kopf-Ansatz“ als grundsätzliches Kriterium, wobei in einer Übergangsphase andere Ansätze vorübergehend zum Einsatz kommen können. Daraus ergibt sich notwendigerweise ein stark verengter Handlungsspielraum für die Industrieländer. Der Beirat kommt zu dem Ergebnis, daß sein 1995 in der Stellungnahme zur ersten Vertragsstaatenkonferenz vorgeschlagenes Emissionsprofil („WBGUSzenario“) nur dann als mit den ökologischen, ökonomischen, sozialen und völkerrechtlichen Leitplanken verträglich ist, wenn es sich nicht nur auf Kohlendioxid bezieht, sondern auch die anderen wichtigen Treibhausgase wie Methan und Distickstoffoxid berücksichtigt.

- den im Rhein-Main-Gebiet lebenden Menschen die regionalen Strukturen ihres Lebensraumes näher zu bringen.
Seit nunmehr 20 Jahren findet regelmäßig alle zwei Jahre das Symposium "Tektonik — Strukturgeologie — Kristallingeologie" (TSK) statt. Die Tagung soll insbesondere jungen Nachwuchswissenschaftlern die Möglichkeit bieten, ihre Ergebnisse zu diskutieren und einem breiten Fachpublikum vorzustellen. Dies ist natürlich besonders attraktiv, wenn auch die ‚alten Hasen‘ der Zunft eifrig dabei sind.
In diesem Jahr wird schon TSK 11 — nach Tübingen, Erlangen, Graz, Frankfurt, Salzburg, Freiberg, Freiburg und Aachen nun zum zweiten Mal nach 1994 wieder in Göttingen durchgeführt. Wir freuen uns, auch dieses Mal wieder ein vielseitiges Tagungsprogramm präsentieren zu können. Die vorgestellten Arbeiten befassen sich mit Geländebeobachtungen, Laboranalysen und -experimenten bis hin zu Computermodellierungen. Im Maßstab reichen sie vom submikroskopischen Bereich bis hin zu ganzen Orogenen. Dabei werden sowohl duktile als auch spröde Deformationsprozesse beleuchtet. Regionale Geologie ist ebenso Thema wie auch eher angewandte Fragestellungen.
Um die einzelnen Beiträge schnell auffinden zu können, wurden diese alphabetisch nach Erstautoren geordnet. Aus Zeitgründen konnte nur der kleinere Teil der mehr als einhundert eingegangen Beiträge in das Vortragsprogramm aufgenommen werden. Auf parallele Vortragssitzungen haben wir bewusst verzichtet. Besonderen Raum für anregende Diskussionen sollen auch die thematisch zusammengestellten Postersitzungen bieten, für die wir spezielle Zeiten eingeräumt haben. Hierzu werden Poster jeweils vorher im Plenum kurz vorgestellt.
Die eingegangenen Manuskripte wurden, wie bei TSK üblich, für die Publikation keinem Gutachterverfahren unterzogen. Daher sind die jeweiligen Autoren allein für den Inhalt verantwortlich. ...

Erstmals trägt dieses nationale Assessment den Forschungsstand zum Klimawandel umfassend für alle Themenbereiche und gesellschaftlichen Sektoren zusammen. Womit müssen wir in Deutschland rechnen, welche Auswirkungen werden die Klimaveränderungen auf Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft haben, und wie können wir uns wappnen? 126 Autoren aus ganz Deutschland äußern sich zu Themen wie bereits beobachtete und zukünftige Veränderungen, Wetterkatastrophen und deren Folgen, den Projektionen für die Zukunft, den Risiken sowie möglichen Anpassungsstrategien.
Die Autoren stellen in verständlicher Sprache den aktuellen Forschungsstand dar und veranschaulichen die wichtigsten Gedanken in Grafiken und Tabellen. Alle Texte wurden mehrfach wissenschaftlich begutachtet. Klimawandel in Deutschland ist die erste Gesamtschau zu dem Themenkomplex, benennt offene Fragestellungen und liefert eine Grundlage für Entscheidungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel.
Deutschland reiht sich damit ein in die Liste von Ländern wie die Vereinigten Staaten, Österreich und Großbritannien, in denen derartige Berichte bereits vorliegen.
Der Beirat gibt ein globales CO2-Reduktionsziel an, das in einem „Invers-Szenario“ auf der Grundlage mathematisch-physikalischer Modelle berechnet wurde. Aus der Analyse der ökologisch und ökonomisch vermutlich noch tragbaren Belastungen durch Klimaänderungen wird zunächst ein „Toleranzfenster“ für die zulässigen Klimaentwicklungen festgelegt. Ökologische Grenzen ergeben sich dabei aus der Maximaltemperatur und den Temperaturgradienten, an die sich die Biosphäre noch anpassen kann. Ökonomische Grenzen sind durch die für die Weltwirtschaft gerade noch zumutbaren Klimafolgekosten bestimmt. Die Hauptergebnisse des Szenarios sind: • Die anthropogenen CO2-Emissionen müssen langfristig, d.h. über mehrere Jahrhunderte, nahezu auf Null reduziert werden. Dabei läßt das Klimasystem allerdings beträchtliche Freiheiten zu, was die Gestaltung des Emissionsprofils anbetrifft. • Die Fortsetzung der gegenwärtigen Emissionspraxis (Business as Usual) würde uns zwar noch ca. 25 Jahre Zeit geben, dann aber innerhalb weniger Jahre einen solch drastischen Minderungszwang erfordern, daß kaum Strukturen und Technologien vorstellbar sind, die diese Minderung erbringen könnten. • Deshalb erscheint dem Beirat ein Emissionsprofil umsetzbar und sinnvoll, bei dem die globalen CO2-Emissionen, nach einer Übergangszeit von etwa 5 Jahren, über mehr als 150 Jahre um jährlich knapp 1% reduziert werden. • Dadurch kommen vor allem auf die Industrieländer mittelfristig große Reduktionspflichten zu. Der Beirat regt an, die aus der Selbstverpflichtung Deutschlands zur Minderung der CO2-Emissionen entstehenden Maßnahmen konsequent zu verwirklichen. International sind Vereinbarungen abzuschließen, die über das Jahr 2000 hinausreichen.
