A1 - Weck, Florian T1 - Communicating the diagnosis of cancer or depression: Results of a randomized controlled online study using video vignettes JF - Cancer Medicine N2 - Background Communicating a diagnosis is highly important, yet complex, especially in the context of cancer and mental disorders. The aim was to explore the communication style of an oncologist vs. psychotherapist in an online study. Methods Patients (N = 136: 65 cancer, 71 depression) were randomly assigned to watch a standardized video vignette with one of two communication styles (empathic vs. unempathic). Outcome measures of affectivity, information recall, communication skills, empathy and trust were applied. Results Regardless of diagnosis, empathic communication was associated with the perception of a significantly more empathic (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.08) and trustworthy practitioner (p = 0.014, η2partial = 0.04) with better communication skills (p = 0.013, η2partial = 0.05). Cancer patients reported a larger decrease in positive affect (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.15) and a larger increase in negative affect (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.14) from pre- to post-video than depressive patients. Highly relevant information was recalled better in both groups (p < 0.001, d = 0.61–1.06). Conclusions The results highlight the importance of empathy while communicating both a diagnosis of cancer and a mental disorder. Further research should focus on the communication of a mental disorder in association with cancer.

A typical feature in these creative environments are semi-autonomous teams in which multiple members collectively exert leadership influence, thereby challenging traditional command-and-control conceptions of leadership. An extensive body of research on the team-centric concept of shared leadership has recognized the potential for pluralized leadership structures in enhancing team effectiveness; however, little empirical work has been conducted in organizational contexts in which creativity is key. This study set out to explore antecedents of shared leadership and its influence on team creativity in an innovation lab. Building on extant shared leadership and innovation research, we propose antecedents customary to creative teamwork, that is, experimental culture, task reflexivity, and voice. Multisource data were collected from 104 team members and 49 evaluations of 29 coaches nested in 21 teams working in a prototypical innovation lab. We identify factors specific to creative teamwork that facilitate the emergence of shared leadership by providing room for experimentation, encouraging team members to speak up in the creative process, and cultivating a reflective application of entrepreneurial thinking. We provide specific exemplary activities for innovation lab teams to increase levels of shared leadership.

Adaptive radiations there lead to many speciation events within a limited period and hence are particularly prominent biodiversity generators. A prime example are freshwater fish of the genus Limia, endemic to the Greater Antilles. Within Hispaniola, nine species have been described from a single isolated site, Lake Miragoâne, pointing towards extraordinary sympatric speciation. This study examines the evolutionary history of the Limia species in Lake Miragoâne, relative to their congeners throughout the Caribbean. Results For 12 Limia species, we obtained almost complete sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, a well-established marker for lower-level taxonomic relationships. We included sequences of six further Limia species from GenBank (total N  = 18 species). Our phylogenies are in concordance with other published phylogenies of Limia. There is strong support that the species found in Lake Miragoâne in Haiti are monophyletic, confirming a recent local radiation. Within Lake Miragoâne, speciation is likely extremely recent, leading to incomplete lineage sorting in the mtDNA. Future studies using multiple unlinked genetic markers are needed to disentangle the relationships within the Lake Miragoâne clade.

The Hominin Sites and Paleolakes Drilling Project (HSPDP) explores these paleolakes with the aim of reconstructing environmental conditions around critical episodes of hominin evolution. Identification of biological taxa based on their sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) traces can contribute to understand past ecological and climatological conditions of the living environment of our ancestors. However, sedaDNA recovery from tropical environments is challenging because high temperatures, UV irradiation, and desiccation result in highly degraded DNA. Consequently, most of the DNA fragments in tropical sediments are too short for PCR amplification. We analyzed sedaDNA in the upper 70 m of the composite sediment core of the HSPDP drill site at Chew Bahir for eukaryotic remnants. We first tested shotgun high throughput sequencing which leads to metagenomes dominated by bacterial DNA of the deep biosphere, while only a small fraction was derived from eukaryotic, and thus probably ancient, DNA. Subsequently, we performed cross-species hybridization capture of sedaDNA to enrich ancient DNA (aDNA) from eukaryotic remnants for paleoenvironmental analysis, using established barcoding genes (cox1 and rbcL for animals and plants, respectively) from 199 species that may have had relatives in the past biosphere at Chew Bahir. Metagenomes yielded after hybridization capture are richer in reads with similarity to cox1 and rbcL in comparison to metagenomes without prior hybridization capture. Taxonomic assignments of the reads from these hybridization capture metagenomes also yielded larger fractions of the eukaryotic domain. For reads assigned to cox1, inferred wet periods were associated with high inferred relative abundances of putative limnic organisms (gastropods, green algae), while inferred dry periods showed increased relative abundances for insects. These findings indicate that cross-species hybridization capture can be an effective approach to enhance the information content of sedaDNA in order to explore biosphere changes associated with past environmental conditions, enabling such analyses even under tropical conditions.

Despite global cooling, sea surface temperatures in the high latitude North Atlantic Ocean rose between 2.9–2.7 million years ago. Here we present sedimentary geochemical proxy data from the Gulf of Cadiz to reconstruct the variability of Mediterranean Outflow Water, an important heat source to the North Atlantic. We find evidence for enhanced production of Mediterranean Outflow from the mid-Pliocene to the late Pliocene which we infer could have driven a sub-surface heat channel into the high-latitude North Atlantic. We then use Earth System Models to constrain the impact of enhanced Mediterranean Outflow production on the northward heat transport in the North Atlantic. In accord with the proxy data, the numerical model results support the formation of a sub-surface channel that pumped heat from the subtropics into the high latitude North Atlantic. We further suggest that this mechanism could have delayed ice sheet growth at the end of the Pliocene.

However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has evaluated the amygdala redox status after consuming a HS diet in the pre- or postweaning periods. This study aimed to evaluate the amygdala redox status and anxiety-like behaviors in adulthood, after inclusion of HS diet in two periods: preconception, gestation, and lactation (preweaning); and only after weaning (postweaning). Initially, 18 females and 9 male Wistar rats received a standard (n = 9 females and 4 males) or a HS diet (n = 9 females and 5 males) for 120 days. After mating, females continued to receive the aforementioned diets during gestation and lactation. Weaning occurred at 21-day-old Wistar rats and the male offspring were subdivided: control-control (C-C)—offspring of standard diet fed dams who received a standard diet after weaning (n = 9–11), control-HS (C-HS)—offspring of standard diet fed dams who received a HS diet after weaning (n = 9–11), HS-C—offspring of HS diet fed dams who received a standard diet after weaning (n = 9–11), and HS-HS—offspring of HS diet fed dams who received a HS diet after weaning (n = 9–11). At adulthood, the male offspring performed the elevated plus maze and open field tests. At 152-day-old Wistar rats, the offspring were euthanized and the amygdala was removed for redox state analysis. The HS-HS group showed higher locomotion and rearing frequency in the open field test. These results indicate that this group developed hyperactivity. The C-HS group had a higher ratio of entries and time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze test in addition to a higher head-dipping frequency. These results suggest less anxiety-like behaviors. In the analysis of the redox state, less activity of antioxidant enzymes and higher levels of the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the amygdala were shown in the amygdala of animals that received a high-salt diet regardless of the period (pre- or postweaning). In conclusion, the high-salt diet promoted hyperactivity when administered in the pre- and postweaning periods. In animals that received only in the postweaning period, the addition of salt induced a reduction in anxiety-like behaviors. Also, regardless of the period, salt provided amygdala oxidative stress, which may be linked to the observed behaviors.

The reference signal affects the stability, the convergence rate and the maximum achievable attenuation. Since the error signal and the control signal are available as numerical values in the algorithm for the LMS, the reference signal can be calculated from both signals. The error signal is the interference between the control signal and the reference signal. This interference of the control signal and the reference signal can be noted mathematically as a simple addition. It is therefore possible to deduce the reference signal from a known error signal and control signal. This approach is the basis of the generated-x LMS (GxLMS) developed by us. It calculates the reference signal itself without having to rely on an externally supplied reference signal. The advantages of the GxLMS are primarily in fields where the reference signal is difficult or impossible to detect. For example, the detection of the reference signal can be problematic due to design reasons or measurement technology. For example, flow noise could have a negative effect on an acoustic detection of the reference signal. However, the calculation of the reference signal in the GxLMS represents a further feedback signal path, which affects the stability of the algorithm as a whole. Based on the theoretical principles mathematically sufficient convergence conditions can be formulated taking into account the delays existing in the signal paths. The experimental testing took place on an acoustic duct with monofrequency disturb signals. Since the use of an efficient design of experiments (DoE) could be excluded, the measurement was designed as parameter variation (one factor at time) and therefore very time-consuming. The theoretical background of the GxLMS as well as the results from the experiments are presented.

This study investigates extreme ecosystem responses evoked by climatic drivers in the Mediterranean Basin for the time span 1999–2019 with a specific focus on seasonal variations as the seasonal timing of climatic anomalies is considered essential for impact and vulnerability assessment. A bivariate vulnerability analysis is performed for each month of the year to quantify which combinations of the drivers temperature (obtained from ERA5-Land) and soil moisture (obtained from ESA CCI and ERA5-Land) lead to extreme reductions in ecosystem productivity using the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR; obtained from the Copernicus Global Land Service) as a proxy. The bivariate analysis clearly showed that, in many cases, it is not just one but a combination of both drivers that causes ecosystem vulnerability. The overall pattern shows that Mediterranean ecosystems are prone to three soil moisture regimes during the yearly cycle: they are vulnerable to hot and dry conditions from May to July, to cold and dry conditions from August to October, and to cold conditions from November to April, illustrating the shift from a soil-moisture-limited regime in summer to an energy-limited regime in winter. In late spring, a month with significant vulnerability to hot conditions only often precedes the next stage of vulnerability to both hot and dry conditions, suggesting that high temperatures lead to critically low soil moisture levels with a certain time lag. In the eastern Mediterranean, the period of vulnerability to hot and dry conditions within the year is much longer than in the western Mediterranean. Our results show that it is crucial to account for both spatial and temporal variability to adequately assess ecosystem vulnerability. The seasonal vulnerability approach presented in this study helps to provide detailed insights regarding the specific phenological stage of the year in which ecosystem vulnerability to a certain climatic condition occurs.

A critical review JF - Journal of Clinical Medicine N2 - Frailty assessment is recommended before elective transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to determine post-interventional prognosis. Several studies have investigated frailty in TAVI-patients using numerous assessments; however, it remains unclear which is the most appropriate tool for clinical practice. Therefore, we evaluate which frailty assessment is mainly used and meaningful for ≤30-day and ≥1-year prognosis in TAVI patients. Randomized controlled or observational studies (prospective/retrospective) investigating all-cause mortality in older (≥70 years) TAVI patients were identified (PubMed; May 2020). In total, 79 studies investigating frailty with 49 different assessments were included. As single markers of frailty, mostly gait speed (23 studies) and serum albumin (16 studies) were used. Higher risk of 1-year mortality was predicted by slower gait speed (highest Hazard Ratios (HR): 14.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.50–33.30) and lower serum albumin level (highest HR: 3.12; 95% CI 1.80–5.42). Composite indices (five items; seven studies) were associated with 30-day (highest Odds Ratio (OR): 15.30; 95% CI 2.71–86.10) and 1-year mortality (highest OR: 2.75; 95% CI 1.55–4.87). In conclusion, single markers of frailty, in particular gait speed, were widely used to predict 1-year mortality. Composite indices were appropriate, as well as a comprehensive assessment of frailty.

Therefore, the primary aim of the study is to acquire a deeper understanding of the dynamic process of resilience factors, coping strategies and psychosocial adjustment of adolescents living with chronic conditions. Methods/design We plan to consecutively recruit N = 450 adolescents (12–21 years) from three German patient registries for chronic conditions (type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis, or juvenile idiopathic arthritis). Based on screening for anxiety and depression, adolescents are assigned to two parallel groups – “inconspicuous” (PHQ-9 and GAD-7 < 7) vs. “conspicuous” (PHQ-9 or GAD-7 ≥ 7) – participating in a prospective online survey at baseline and 12-month follow-up. At two time points (T1, T2), we assess (1) intra- and interpersonal resiliency factors, (2) coping strategies, and (3) health-related quality of life, well-being, satisfaction with life, anxiety and depression. Using a cross-lagged panel design, we will examine the bidirectional longitudinal relations between resiliency factors and coping strategies, psychological adaptation, and psychosocial adjustment. To monitor Covid-19 pandemic effects, participants are also invited to take part in an intermediate online survey. Discussion The study will provide a deeper understanding of adaptive, potentially modifiable processes and will therefore help to develop novel, tailored interventions supporting a positive adaptation in youths with a chronic condition. These strategies should not only support those at risk but also promote the maintenance of a successful adaptation. Trial registration German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS), no. DRKS00025125.

In Business Process Management (BPM), such deferred choices can be expressed in process models, and they are an important aspect of process engines. Blockchain-based process execution approaches are no exception to this, but are severely limited by the inherent properties of the platform: The isolated environment prevents direct access to external entities and data, and the non-continual runtime based entirely on atomic transactions impedes the monitoring and detection of events. In this paper we provide an in-depth examination of the semantics of deferred choice, and transfer them to environments such as the blockchain. We introduce and compare several oracle architectures able to satisfy certain requirements, and show that they can be implemented using state-of-the-art blockchain technology.

JF - Ecology and Evolution N2 - Semi-natural habitats (SNHs) are becoming increasingly scarce in modern agricultural landscapes. This may reduce natural ecosystem services such as pest control with its putatively positive effect on crop production. In agreement with other studies, we recently reported wheat yield reductions at field borders which were linked to the type of SNH and the distance to the border. In this experimental landscape-wide study, we asked whether these yield losses have a biotic origin while analyzing fungal seed and fungal leaf pathogens, herbivory of cereal leaf beetles, and weed cover as hypothesized mediators between SNHs and yield. We established experimental winter wheat plots of a single variety within conventionally managed wheat fields at fixed distances either to a hedgerow or to an in-field kettle hole. For each plot, we recorded the fungal infection rate on seeds, fungal infection and herbivory rates on leaves, and weed cover. Using several generalized linear mixed-effects models as well as a structural equation model, we tested the effects of SNHs at a field scale (SNH type and distance to SNH) and at a landscape scale (percentage and diversity of SNHs within a 1000-m radius). In the dry year of 2016, we detected one putative biotic culprit: Weed cover was negatively associated with yield values at a 1-m and 5-m distance from the field border with a SNH. None of the fungal and insect pests, however, significantly affected yield, neither solely nor depending on type of or distance to a SNH. However, the pest groups themselves responded differently to SNH at the field scale and at the landscape scale. Our findings highlight that crop losses at field borders may be caused by biotic culprits; however, their negative impact seems weak and is putatively reduced by conventional farming practices.

Besides physical injuries, certain psychosocial risk factors are involved in the disease process. The national health care guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non-specific low back pain recommend the screening of psychosocial risk factors as early as possible, to be able to adapt the therapy to patient needs (e.g., unimodal or multimodal). However, such a procedure has been difficult to implement in practice and has not yet been integrated into the rehabilitation care structures across the country. Methods The aim of this study is to implement an individualized therapy and aftercare program within the rehabilitation offer of the German Pension Insurance in the area of orthopedics and to examine its success and sustainability in comparison to the previous standard aftercare program. The study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial including 1204 patients from six orthopedic rehabilitation clinics. A 2:1 allocation ratio to intervention (individualized and home-based rehabilitation aftercare) versus the control group (regular outpatient rehabilitation aftercare) is set. Upon admission to the rehabilitation clinic, participants in the intervention group will be screened according to their psychosocial risk profile. They could then receive either unimodal or multimodal, together with an individualized training program. The program is instructed in the clinic (approximately 3 weeks) and will continue independently at home afterwards for 3 months. The success of the program is examined by means of a total of four surveys. The co-primary outcomes are the Characteristic Pain Intensity and Disability Score assessed by the German version of the Chronic Pain Grade questionnaire (CPG). Discussion An improvement in terms of pain, work ability, patient compliance, and acceptance in our intervention program compared to the standard aftercare is expected. The study contributes to provide individualized care also to patients living far away from clinical centers. Trial registration DRKS, DRKS00020373.

We assessed different aspects of teacher quality (e.g. professional knowledge, instructional quality) using a variety of measures, including standardised tests of teachers’ content knowledge, to determine what characteristics are associated with high participation in PD. The results show that teachers with higher scores for teacher quality variables take part in more content-focused PD than teachers with lower scores for these variables.

We design and implement a randomized field experiment in a large mandatory economics course with blended learning elements. The low-cost treatment induces students to use the online learning system more often, more intensively, and to begin earlier with exam preparation. Treated students perform better in the course than the control group: they are 18.8% (0.20 SD) more likely to pass the exam and earn 6.7% (0.19 SD) more points on the exam. There is no evidence that treated students spend significantly more time, rather they tend to shift to more productive learning methods.

In the absence of sufficiently permeable reservoir rocks, faults and fracture networks are preferred drilling targets because they can facilitate the migration of hot and/or cold fluids. In volcanic-geothermal systems considerable amounts of gas emissions can be released at the earth surface, often related to these fluid-releasing structures. In this thesis, I developed and evaluated different methodological approaches and measurement concepts to determine the spatial and temporal variation of several soil gas parameters to understand the structural control on fluid flow. In order to validate their potential as innovative geothermal exploration and monitoring tools, these methodological approaches were applied to three different volcanic-geothermal systems. At each site an individual survey design was developed regarding the site-specific questions. The first study presents results of the combined measurement of CO2 flux, ground temperatures, and the analysis of isotope ratios (δ13CCO2, 3He/4He) across the main production area of the Los Humeros geothermal field, to identify locations with a connection to its supercritical (T > 374◦C and P > 221 bar) geothermal reservoir. The results of the systematic and large-scale (25 x 200 m) CO2 flux scouting survey proved to be a fast and flexible way to identify areas of anomalous degassing. Subsequent sampling with high resolution surveys revealed the actual extent and heterogenous pattern of anomalous degassing areas. They have been related to the internal fault hydraulic architecture and allowed to assess favourable structural settings for fluid flow such as fault intersections. Finally, areas of unknown structurally controlled permeability with a connection to the superhot geothermal reservoir have been determined, which represent promising targets for future geothermal exploration and development. In the second study, I introduce a novel monitoring approach by examining the variation of CO2 flux to monitor changes in the reservoir induced by fluid reinjection. For that reason, an automated, multi-chamber CO2 flux system was deployed across the damage zone of a major normal fault crossing the Los Humeros geothermal field. Based on the results of the CO2 flux scouting survey, a suitable site was selected that had a connection to the geothermal reservoir, as identified by hydrothermal CO2 degassing and hot ground temperatures (> 50 °C). The results revealed a response of gas emissions to changes in reinjection rates within 24 h, proving an active hydraulic communication between the geothermal reservoir and the earth surface. This is a promising monitoring strategy that provides nearly real-time and in-situ data about changes in the reservoir and allows to timely react to unwanted changes (e.g., pressure decline, seismicity). The third study presents results from the Aluto geothermal field in Ethiopia where an area-wide and multi-parameter analysis, consisting of measurements of CO2 flux, 222Rn, and 220Rn activity concentrations and ground temperatures was conducted to detect hidden permeable structures. 222Rn and 220Rn activity concentrations are evaluated as a complementary soil gas parameter to CO2 flux, to investigate their potential to understand tectono-volcanic degassing. The combined measurement of all parameters enabled to develop soil gas fingerprints, a novel visualization approach. Depending on the magnitude of gas emissions and their migration velocities the study area was divided in volcanic (heat), tectonic (structures), and volcano-tectonic dominated areas. Based on these concepts, volcano-tectonic dominated areas, where hot hydrothermal fluids migrate along permeable faults, present the most promising targets for future geothermal exploration and development in this geothermal field. Two of these areas have been identified in the south and south-east which have not yet been targeted for geothermal exploitation. Furthermore, two unknown areas of structural related permeability could be identified by 222Rn and 220Rn activity concentrations. Eventually, the fourth study presents a novel measurement approach to detect structural controlled CO2 degassing, in Ngapouri geothermal area, New Zealand. For the first time, the tunable diode laser (TDL) method was applied in a low-degassing geothermal area, to evaluate its potential as a geothermal exploration method. Although the sampling approach is based on profile measurements, which leads to low spatial resolution, the results showed a link between known/inferred faults and increased CO2 concentrations. Thus, the TDL method proved to be a successful in the determination of structural related permeability, also in areas where no obvious geothermal activity is present. Once an area of anomalous CO2 concentrations has been identified, it can be easily complemented by CO2 flux grid measurements to determine the extent and orientation of the degassing segment. With the results of this work, I was able to demonstrate the applicability of systematic and area-wide soil gas measurements for geothermal exploration and monitoring purposes. In particular, the combination of different soil gases using different measurement networks enables the identification and characterization of fluid-bearing structures and has not yet been used and/or tested as standard practice. The different studies present efficient and cost-effective workflows and demonstrate a hands-on approach to a successful and sustainable exploration and monitoring of geothermal resources. This minimizes the resource risk during geothermal project development. Finally, to advance the understanding of the complex structure and dynamics of geothermal systems, a combination of comprehensive and cutting-edge geological, geochemical, and geophysical exploration methods is essential. N2 - Zu den großen Herausforderungen bei der Erkundung und Nutzung geothermischer Ressourcen, gehören die strukturgeologische Charakterisierung eines geothermischen Systems sowie die Anwendung nachhaltiger Überwachungskonzepte, um Veränderungen im geothermischen Reservoir während der Förderung und/oder Injektion von Fluiden zu verstehen. Bei unzureichender Permeabilität des Reservoirgesteins stellen Verwerfungen und Kluftnetzwerke bevorzugte Bohrziele dar, da sie potentielle Wegsamkeiten für heiße und/oder kalte Fluide sind. Entlang dieser fluidführenden Strukturen können in vulkanisch-geothermischen Systemen auch erhebliche Mengen an Gasemissionen an der Erdoberfläche freigesetzt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden verschiedene methodische Ansätze und Messkonzepte entwickelt und getestet, um die räumliche und zeitliche Variation verschiedener Bodengasparameter zu bestimmen und diese im Kontext struktureller Permeabilitäten zu interpretieren. Um das Potential der Bodengasanalytik als innovative geothermische Explorations- und Überwachungsmethode zu validieren, wurden die methodischen Ansätze auf drei verschiedene vulkanisch-geothermische Systeme angewendet. Diesbezüglich wurde für jeden Standort ein individueller Messansatz hinsichtlich der bekannten strukturgeologischen Merkmale und standortspezifischen Fragestellung entwickelt. Die erste Studie präsentiert Ergebnisse aus der kombinierten Messung des CO2-Flusses, der Bodentemperatur und der Analyse von Isotopenverhältnissen (δ13CCO2, 3He/4He), welche systematisch und flächendeckend in der geothermischen Produktionszone des Geothermalfeldes Los Humeros, Mexiko, gemessen wurden. Ziel war es, Bereiche mit einer Verbindung zum überkritischen (T > 374◦C and P > 221 bar) und bisher noch ungenutzten geothermischen Reservoir zu identifizieren. Das mit großem Punktabstand und systematisch generierte Messnetz (25 x 200 m) für die Bestimmung des CO2-Flusses erwies sich als schnelle und flexible Anwendung zur Identifizierung von Gebieten mit anomaler CO2-Entgasung. Basierend auf diesen Ergebnissen wurde anschließend mit geringeren Messabständen die genaue Ausdehnung und das heterogene Muster der anomalen Entgasungsgebiete aufgelöst. Dadurch war es möglich, die Entgasungsmuster mit der internen strukturgeologischen Heterogenität einzelner Störungssegmente in Verbindung zu bringen, wodurch Bereiche, die den Gasfluss besonders begünstigen, wie z.B. Störungsschnittpunkte, ermittelt werden konnten. Schließlich wurden vorher unbekannte, geothermisch interessante Bereiche, die eine erhöhte strukturelle Permeabilität aufweisen und eine Verbindung zum überkritischen Reservoir darstellen, identifiziert. Diese Bereiche gelten als besonders vielversprechend für die zukünftige geothermische Exploration und Entwicklung des Geothermalfeldes. In der zweiten Studie wird ein neuartiger Überwachungsansatz vorgestellt, bei dem kontinuierlich der CO2-Fluss gemessen wurde, um Veränderungen im Reservoir zu überwachen, die durch die Reinjektion von kaltem Thermalwasser verursacht werden. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein automatisiertes Mehrkammer-CO2-Flusssystem innerhalb der Bruchzone einer Hauptstörung aufgebaut. Die Grundlage eines geeigneten Standortes wurde durch die Ergebnisse der CO2-Explorationsuntersuchungen gegeben. Es war von großer Wichtigkeit, dass der Standort eine Verbindung zum geothermischen Reservoir aufweist, erkennbar an hydrothermaler CO2-Entgasung und heißen Bodentemperaturen (> 50 °C). Die Ergebnisse zeigten ein Sinken der Gasemissionen als Reaktion auf Änderungen der Reinjektionsraten innerhalb von 24 h, was auf eine aktive hydraulische Kommunikation zwischen dem geothermischen Reservoir und der Erdoberfläche hinweist. Dies ist ein vielversprechende Methode, da nahezu in Echtzeit und in situ Daten über Veränderungen im Reservoir angezeigt werden und eine rechtzeitige Reaktion auf unerwünschte Veränderungen (z.B. Druckabfall, Seismizität) möglich ist. Die dritte Studie präsentiert Ergebnisse aus dem Aluto-Geothermiefeld in Äthiopien, bei dem eine flächendeckende, Multiparameter-Analyse, bestehend aus CO2-Fluss, 222Rn- und 220Rn-Aktivitätskonzentrationen und Bodentemperaturen durchgeführt wurde, um verborgene fluidführende Strukturen zu erkennen. Die 222Rn- und 220Rn-Aktivitätskonzentrationen wurden als ergänzende Bodengasparameter zum CO2-Fluss verwendet, um ihr Potenzial als zusätzliche Explorationsparameter zu bewerten. Die kombinierte Messung aller Parameter ermöglichte die Entwicklung von Bodengas Fingerabdrücken – ein neuartiger Visualisierungsansatz. Dadurch lässt sich in Abhängigkeit von der Menge an Gasemissionen und deren Fließgeschwindigkeiten das Untersuchungsgebiet in vulkanisch (Wärme), tektonisch (Strukturen) und vulkanischtektonisch dominierte Gebiete unterteilen. Basierend auf diesem Konzept stellen vulkanischtektonisch dominierte Gebiete die vielversprechendsten Ziele für die zukünftige geothermische Exploration und Entwicklung an diesem Standort dar, da hier heiße hydrothermale Fluide entlang durchlässiger Strukturen migrieren. Zwei solche, bisher nicht berücksichtigte Gebiete wurden im Süden und Südosten identifiziert. Darüber hinaus konnten zwei bisher unbekannte Gebiete mit strukturell bedingter Durchlässigkeit anhand der Aktivitätskonzentrationen von 222Rn und 220Rn identifiziert werden. Schließlich wird in der vierten Studie ein neuartiger Messansatz zum Nachweis der strukturbedingten CO2-Entgasung im geothermischen Gebiet Ngapouri, Neuseeland, vorgestellt. Zum ersten Mal wurde die Tunable-Diode-Laser-Methode (TDL) in einem geothermischen Gebiet mit geringer Entgasung angewandt, um ihr Potenzial als geothermische Explorationsmethode zu bewerten. Obwohl der Messansatz auf Profilmessungen basiert, was zu einer geringen räumlichen Auflösung führt, zeigen die Ergebnisse einen Zusammenhang zwischen bekannten und unbekannten Störungen sowie erhöhten CO2-Konzentrationen. Somit erwies sich die TDL-Methode bei der Bestimmung der strukturbedingten Permeabilität auch in solchen Gebieten als erfolgreich, in denen keine offensichtliche geothermische Aktivität vorhanden ist. Mit systematischen und kleinskaligen CO2-Fluss-Messungen, kann anschließend die räumliche Auflösung der Abschnitte eines Profils mit erhöhten CO2-Konzentrationen, verfeinert werden. Mit den Ergebnissen dieser Arbeit konnte ich die Anwendbarkeit systematischer und flächendeckender Bodengasmessungen für geothermische Explorations- und Überwachungszwecke nachweisen. Die Kombination von verschiedenen Bodengasen und deren Messung anhand verschiedener Messnetze ermöglicht die genaue Identifizierung und Charakterisierung fluidführender Strukturen und wurde bisher noch nicht standardmäßig eingesetzt und/oder erprobt. Mit den Ergebnissen der jeweiligen Studien werden effiziente und kostengünstige Arbeitsabläufe dargelegt, die einen praxisorientierten Ansatz zeigen, der zu einer erfolgreichen und nachhaltigen Exploration und Überwachung geothermischer Ressourcen beitragen kann. Letztlich wird somit das Ressourcenrisiko bei der geothermischen Projektentwicklung minimiert. Um das Verständnis der komplexen Struktur und Dynamik geothermischer Systeme voranzutreiben, ist schließlich eine Kombination aus innovativen und flächendeckenden geologischen, geochemischen und geophysikalischen Methoden unerlässlich.

With the help of high-precision superconducting gravity meters (iGravs), I investigate underground mass changes that are caused by operation of the geothermal power plant (i.e. by extraction of hot water and reinjection of cold water). The overall goal of this research project is to make a statement about the sustainable use of the geothermal reservoir, from which also the Icelandic energy supplier and power plant operator Landsvirkjun should benefit. As a first step, for investigating the performance and measurement stability of the gravity meters, in summer 2017, I performed comparative measurements at the gravimetric observatory J9 in Strasbourg. From the three-month gravity time series, I examined calibration, noise and drift behaviour of the iGravs in comparison to stable long-term time series of the observatory superconducting gravity meters. After preparatory work in Iceland (setup of gravity stations, additional measuring equipment and infrastructure, discussions with Landsvirkjun and meetings with the Icelandic partner institute ISOR), gravity monitoring at Þeistareykir was started in December 2017. With the help of the iGrav records of the initial 18 months after start of measurements, I carried out the same investigations (on calibration, noise and drift behaviour) as in J9 to understand how the transport of the superconducting gravity meters to Iceland may influence instrumental parameters. In the further course of this work, I focus on modelling and reduction of local gravity contributions at Þeistareykir. These comprise additional mass changes due to rain, snowfall and vertical surface displacements that superimpose onto the geothermal signal of the gravity measurements. For this purpose, I used data sets from additional monitoring sensors that are installed at each gravity station and adapted scripts for hydro-gravitational modelling. The third part of my thesis targets geothermal signals in the gravity measurements. Together with my PhD colleague Nolwenn Portier from France, I carried out additional gravity measurements with a Scintrex CG5 gravity meter at 26 measuring points within the geothermal field in the summers of 2017, 2018 and 2019. These annual time-lapse gravity measurements are intended to increase the spatial coverage of gravity data from the three continuous monitoring stations to the entire geothermal field. The combination of CG5 and iGrav observations, as well as annual reference measurements with an FG5 absolute gravity meter represent the hybrid gravimetric monitoring method for Þeistareykir. Comparison of the gravimetric data to local borehole measurements (of groundwater levels, geothermal extraction and injection rates) is used to relate the observed gravity changes to the actually extracted (and reinjected) geothermal fluids. An approach to explain the observed gravity signals by means of forward modelling of the geothermal production rate is presented at the end of the third (hybrid gravimetric) study. Further modelling with the help of the processed gravity data is planned by Landsvirkjun. In addition, the experience from time-lapse and continuous gravity monitoring will be used for future gravity measurements at the Krafla geothermal field 22 km south-east of Þeistareykir. N2 - In meiner Doktorarbeit beschäftige ich mich mit kontinuierlichen Schweremessungen zum Monitoring des geothermisch genutzten Standorts Þeistareykir in Nordisland. Unter Verwendung von hochpräzisen Supraleitgravimetern (iGravs) untersuche ich unterirdische Massenveränderungen, die durch den Betrieb des isländischen Erdwärmekraftwerks (d.h. durch die Entnahme von Heißwasser und Rückinjektion von Kaltwasser) hervorgerufen werden. Als übergeordnetes Ziel des Forschungsprojektes soll eine Aussage zur nachhaltigen Nutzung des geothermischen Reservoirs gemacht werden, von der auch der isländische Energieversorger und Kraftwerksbetreiber Landsvirkjun profitieren soll. Als ersten Schritt, zur Untersuchung der Leistungsfähigkeit und Messstabilität der Gravimeter, begleitete ich im Sommer 2017 Vergleichsmessungen in dem gravimetrischen Observatorium J9 in Straßburg. Aus den dreimonatigen Messzeitreihen untersuchte ich Kalibration, Rausch- und Driftverhalten der iGravs im Vergleich zu den betriebssicher laufenden Observatoriums-Supraleitgravimetern. Nach vorbereitender Arbeit in Island (Aufbau der Gravimeter-Stationen und zusätzlicher Messeinrichtung, Einrichtung der Infrastruktur, Gespräche mit Landsvirkjun und Treffen mit isländischen Partnerinstitut ISOR) startete ich mit meinen Kollegen im Dezember 2017 das Gravimeter-Monitoring in Þeistareykir. Anhand der iGrav-Aufzeichnungen der ersten 18 Monaten nach Messbeginn führte ich die gleichen Untersuchungen (zu Kalibration, Rausch- und Driftverhalten) wie in J9 durch, um zu verstehen inwieweit der Transport der Supraleitgravimeter nach Island die Geräteeigenschaften beeinflusst hat. Im weiteren Verlauf der vorliegenden Arbeit beschäftige ich mich verstärkt mit der Modellierung und Korrektur von oberflächennahen Schwereeffekten in Þeistareykir. Dies umfasst zusätzliche Massenbewegungen durch Regen, Schneefall oder vulkanisch-tektonische Bodenbewegungen, die das geothermische Signal in den Gravimeter-Messungen überlagern. Als Hilfsmittel verwende ich die Datensätze der zusätzlich an jeder Gravimeter-Station eingerichteten Messsensorik und von mir angepasste Modellierungsskripte meiner Gravimetrie-Kollegen. Als dritten Punkt meiner Dissertation untersuche ich die geothermischen Signale in den Gravimeter-Messungen. Gemeinsam mit meiner PhD-Kollegin Nolwenn Portier aus Frankreich führte ich in den Sommern 2017, 2018 und 2019 zusätzliche Schweremessungen mit einem Scintrex CG5 Gravimeter an 26 im Geothermie-Feld verteilten Messpunkten durch. Diese jährlich begrenzten Schweredaten dienen der Verbesserung der räumlichen Auflösung unserer kontinuierlichen iGrav-Messungen. Die kombinierten Ergebnisse beider Messmethoden (der CG5 und iGrav Gravimeter), sowie jährlich im Messgebiet durchgeführter Referenz-Messungen mit einem FG5 Absolut-Gravimeter, komplettieren das hybridgravimetrische Monitoring am Messstandort Þeistareykir. Die abschließende Gegenüberstellung der gravimetrischen Daten mit lokalen Bohrlochmessungen (von Grundwasserpegeln, geothermischen Extraktions- und Injektions-Raten) des Kraftwerksbetreibers, ermöglicht einen direkten Vergleich der beobachteten Schwereveränderungen mit den tatsächlich geförderten geothermischen Fluiden. Ein Ansatz zur Erklärung des beobachteten Schweresignals mittels Vorwärtsmodellierung der geförderten geothermischen Förderrate wird im Abschluss der dritten (hybridgravimetrischen) Studie vorgestellt. Weitere Modellierungen unter Verwendung der aufbereiteten gravimetrischen Messdaten sind durch den Kraftwerksbetreibers von Þeistareykir geplant. Außerdem sollen die gesammelten Erfahrungen des gravimetrischen Messnetzes und Monitorings in Þeistareykir zur Durchführung weiterer gravimetrischer Messungen an dem 22 km südöstlich gelegenem Geothermiefeld Krafla genutzt werden.

Der Begriff Forschungsdatenmanagement umfasst alle Aktivitäten, die mit der Aufbereitung, Speicherung, Archivierung und Veröffentlichung von Forschungsdaten verbunden sind. Da der Umgang mit Forschungsdaten generische, fachliche, rechtliche und technische Aspekte betrifft, erfordert es eine Begleitung der Forschenden durch ein umfangreiches Spektrum an Services, von Information und Beratung bis hin zu fachspezifischen Standards und IT-Infrastrukturen. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden zunächst die Ausgangslage und die Begrifflichkeiten rund um Forschungsdatenmanagement geklärt und anschließend die wichtigsten nationalen und internationalen Strategien und Entwicklungen vorgestellt. Dabei bilden Richtlinien und Empfehlungen für Forschungsdaten(management) den Handlungsrahmen für alle Beteiligte hin zu einem nachhaltigen Forschungsdatenmanagement. Bundeslandinitiativen schaffen die Grundlage und unterstützen den Kulturwandel zu offenen Daten. Eine Forschungsdaten-Strategie für Brandenburg muss die Bedeutung von digitalen Forschungsdaten als wissenschaftliches Gut in den Vordergrund stellen, indem dafür das Bewusstsein geschaffen wird und konkrete Vorgaben und Leitlinien auf Landes- und Einrichtungsebene vereinbart werden. Gute wissenschaftliche Praxis wird durch eine geeignete Infrastruktur unterstützt, welche die heterogenen Bedarfe und Voraussetzungen aller Beteiligten berücksichtigt. Ziele sollten die Institutionalisierung von Forschungsdatenmanagement an den Hochschulen und Kooperationen zwischen den Einrichtungen Brandenburgs sein. N2 - Digital research data is becoming increasingly important and poses new challenges for scientific institutions and their researchers. The term research data management covers all activities associated with the preparation, storage, archiving and publication of research data. Since the handling of research data involves generic, professional, legal and technical aspects, it requires researchers to be accompanied by a comprehensive range of services, from information and consulting to subject-specific standards and IT infrastructures. This report first clarifies the starting position and terminology relating to research data management, and subsequently investigates the most important national and international strategies and developments. Guidelines and recommendations for research data (management) form the framework of action for all those involved in sustainable research data management. State initiatives create the basis and support the cultural change to open data. A research data strategy for Brandenburg must emphasize the importance of digital research data as a scientific asset by creating awareness of this fact and by offering concrete guidelines at state and institution level. Good scientific practice is supported by a suitable infrastructure that takes into account the heterogeneous needs and prerequisites of all participants. The goals should be the institutionalization of research data management at and cooperation between Brandenburg's institutions.
