However, such measuring campaigns cover several years to decades, while longer-term sea-level records are rare for the Mediterranean. We used a data archeological approach to reanalyze monthly mean sea-level data of the Antalya-I (1935-1977) tide gauge to fill this gap. We checked the accuracy and reliability of these data before merging them with the more recent records of the Antalya-II (1985-2009) tide gauge, accounting for an eight-year hiatus. We obtain a composite time series of monthly and annual mean sea levels spanning some 75 years, providing the longest record for the eastern Mediterranean Basin, and thus an essential tool for studying the region's recent sea-level trends. We estimate a relative mean sea-level rise of 2.2 ± 0.5 mm/year between 1935 and 2008, with an annual variability (expressed here as the standard deviation of the residuals, σresiduals = 41.4 mm) above that at the closest tide gauges (e.g., Thessaloniki, Greece, σresiduals = 29.0 mm). Relative sea-level rise accelerated to 6.0 ± 1.5 mm/year at Antalya-II; we attribute roughly half of this rate (~3.6 mm/year) to tectonic crustal motion and anthropogenic land subsidence. Our study highlights the value of data archeology for recovering and integrating historic tide gauge data for long-term sea-level and climate studies.}, language = {en} } @article{OPUS4-17033, title = {Automatic hypocenter determination of volcano induced seismic transients based on wave field coherence - an application to the 1998 eruption of Mt. Merapi, Indonesia}, year = {2002}, abstract = {In order to monitor the seismic activity of Mt. Merapi (Indonesia) over a long period of time, we installed a permanent array of both broadband and short-period seismometers during the summer of 1997. Considering the requirements of an automatic classification and localization system for seismic monitoring and surveillance at active volcanoes, we split this network into three small aperture arrays distributed around the volcano. We introduce here a newly developed method to determine the hypocenters in an automatic, non-linear manner using the coherence of seismic waves observed at the different arrays. To test this method, we analyze a swarm of VT-B events recorded by the network. The first step in this algorithm is based on a modified smoothed coherence transform. In the second step we perform a semblance analysis applied to the 3D problem, evaluating the quality of the estimated relative onset-times. After more than one year of dormancy, Mt. Merapi renewed its activity at the end of June 1998. This gave us the opportunity to analyze all stages of dome growth, collapse and new intrusion of magma using the associated seismicity in a post-processing sense. This also allowed us to calibrate and test our newly developed automatic monitoring system using the more pronounced waveforms of VT-B events. By detecting and classifying different event types automatically, we are able to localize a large number of VT-B events which occurred just before the initial eruption. We are also able to resolve some properties of the wavefield at Mt Merapi which are essential for further interpretations. Finally, the results show that the source region of the VT-B type seismicity just before the 1998 eruption is closely related to the region of subsequent high volcanic activity and therefore may represent a promising tool to forecast future eruptions.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-51113, title = {Theories and concepts}, series = {Urban change and citizenship in times of crisis}, volume = {1}, journal = {Urban change and citizenship in times of crisis}, editor = {Turner, Bryan S. and Wolf, Hannah and Fitzi, Gregor and Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-367-20562-1}, doi = {10.4324/9780429262265}, pages = {xiv, 194}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis addresses the fact that in the beginning of the twenty-first century the majority of the world's population is urbanised, a social fact that has turned cities more than ever into focal sites of social change. Multiple economic and political strategies, employed by a variety of individual and collective actors, on a number of scales, constitute cities as contested spaces that hold opportunities as well as restrictions for their inhabitants. While cities and urban spaces have long been of central concern for the social sciences, today, classical sociological questions about the city acquire new meaning: Can cities be spaces of emancipation, or does life in the modern city entail a corrosion of citizenship rights? Is the city the focus of societal transformation processes, or do urban environments lose importance in shaping social reality and economic relationships? Furthermore, new questions urgently need to be asked: What is the impact of different historical phenomena such as neo-liberal restructuring, financial and economic crises, or migration flows, as well as their respective counter-movements, on the structure of contemporary cities and on the citizenship rights of city inhabitants? The three volumes address such crucial questions thereby opening up new spaces of debate on both the city and new developments of urbanism. The contributions to Theories and Concepts offer new theoretical reflections on the city in a philosophical and historical perspective as well as fresh empirical analyses of social life in urban contexts. Chapters not only critically revisit classical and modern philosophical considerations about the nature of cities but no less discuss normative philosophical reflections of urban life and the role of religion in historical processes of the emergence of cities. Composed around the question whether there can be such a thing as a 'successful city', this volume addresses issues of urban political subjectivities by considering the city's role in historical processes of emancipation, the fight for citizenship rights, and today's challenges and opportunities with regard to promoting social justice, integration, and diversity. Consequentially, theory-driven empirical analyses offer new insight into ways of solving problems in urban contexts and a genuine approach to analyse the Social Quality in cities.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-27466, title = {Physics of the earth and planetary interiors}, editor = {Franck, Siegfried and Ahrens, Thomas J.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam [u.a.]}, year = {1995}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-43269, title = {RAA2019}, editor = {Ziemann, Martin Andreas}, organization = {University of Potsdam, Institute of Geosciences}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43269}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-432692}, pages = {149}, year = {2019}, abstract = {These abstracts result from the 10th International Congress on the Application of Raman Spectroscopy in Art and Archaeology held 03.09. - 07.09.2019 in Potsdam (Germany).

Since the beginning in 2001, the RAA conferences promote Raman Spectroscopy and play an important role in increasing the field of its applications in art history, history, archaeology, palaeontology, conservation and restoration, museology, degradation of cultural heritage, archaeometry, etc. Furthermore, the development of new instrumentation, especially for non-invasive measurements, receives great attention. The Congress covers all topics of Raman spectroscopic applications in art and archaeology and focuses on the following themes: • Material characterization and degradation processes • Conservation issues affecting cultural heritage • Raman spectroscopy of biological and organic materials • Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy • Chemometrics in Raman spectroscopy • Development of Raman techniques • New Raman instrumentation and applications in cultural heritage objects investigations • Raman spectroscopy in paleontology, paleoenvironment and archaeology}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-59430, title = {Alexander von Humboldt}, editor = {Falk, Gregor C. and Strecker, Manfred and Schneider, Simon}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-94007-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-94008-9}, pages = {xiv, 273}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This book aims to view and to understand Alexander von Humboldt from different perspectives and in varying disciplinary contexts. His contributions addressed numerous topics in the earth but also life sciences—spanning from geo-botany, climatology, paleontology, oceanography, mineralogy, resources, and hydrogeology to links between the environmental impact of humans, erosion, and climate change. From the very beginning, he paved the way for a modern, integrated earth system science approach to decipher, characterize, and model the different forcing factors and their feedback mechanisms. It becomes obvious that Humboldt's holistic approach is far beyond simple description and empiric data collection. As documented and analyzed in the different texts of this volume, he combines observation and analysis with emotions and subjective perceptions in a very affectionate way. However, this publication does not intend to add another encyclopedic text compilation but to observe and critically analyze this unique personality´s relevance in a modern context, particularly in discussing environmental and social key issues in the twenty-first century.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-41661, title = {International Conference on "Natural Hazards and Risks in a Changing World"}, series = {Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Book of Abstracts}, editor = {Petrow, Theresia and Bronstert, Axel and Thieken, Annegret and Vogel, Kristin}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-416613}, pages = {118}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Natural hazards such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, and multi-hazard events heavily affect human societies and call for better management strategies. Due to the severity of such events, it is of utmost importance to understand whether and how they change in re-sponse to evolving hydro-climatological, geo-physical and socio-economic conditions. These conditions jointly determine the magnitude, frequency, and impact of disasters, and are changing in response to climate change and human behavior. Therefore methods are need-ed for hazard and risk quantification accounting for the transient nature of hazards and risks in response to changing natural and anthropogenic altered systems. The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from natural sciences (e.g. hydrology, meteorology, geomorphology, hydraulic engineering, environmental science, seismology, geography), risk research, nonlinear systems dynamics, and applied mathematics to discuss new insights and developments about data science, changing systems, multi-hazard events and the linkage between hazard and vulnerabilities under unstable environmental conditions. Knowledge transfer, communication and networking will be key issues of the conference.
