Mai 2016 wurde der Ort Braunsbach im Landkreis Schw{\"a}bisch-Hall (Baden-W{\"u}rttemberg) von einer Sturzflut getroffen, bei der mehrere H{\"a}user stark besch{\"a}digt oder zerst{\"o}rt wurden. Die Sturzflut war eine der Unwetterfolgen, die im Fr{\"u}hsommer 2016 vom Tiefdruckgebiet Elvira ausgel{\"o}st wurden. Der vorliegende Bericht ist der zweite Teil einer Doppelver{\"o}ffentlichung, welche die Ergebnisse zur Untersuchung des Sturzflutereignisses im Rahmen des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs "Naturgefahren und Risiken in einer sich ver{\"a}ndernden Welt" (NatRiskChange, GRK 2043/1) der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam pr{\"a}sentiert. W{\"a}hrend Teil 1 die meteorologischen und hydrologischen Ereignisse analysiert, fokussiert Teil 2 auf die geomorphologischen Prozesse und die verursachten Geb{\"a}udesch{\"a}den. Dazu wurden Ursprung und Ausmaß des w{\"a}hrend des Sturzflutereignisses mobilisierten und in den Ort getragenen Materials untersucht. Des Weiteren wurden zu 96 betroffenen Geb{\"a}uden Daten zum Schadensgrad sowie Prozess- und Geb{\"a}udecharakteristika aufgenommen und ausgewertet. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass bei der Betrachtung von Hochwassergef{\"a}hrdung die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung von Sturzfluten und ihrer speziellen Charakteristika, wie hoher Feststofftransport und sprunghaftes Verhalten insbesondere in bebautem Gel{\"a}nde, wesentlich ist, um effektive Schutzmaßnahmen ergreifen zu k{\"o}nnen.}, language = {de} } @misc{AgarwalMarwanMaheswaranetal.2017, author = {Agarwal, Ankit and Marwan, Norbert and Maheswaran, Rathinasamy and Merz, Bruno and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Multi-scale event synchronization analysis for unravelling climate processes}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {661}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-41827}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-418274}, pages = {13}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The temporal dynamics of climate processes are spread across different timescales and, as such, the study of these processes at only one selected timescale might not reveal the complete mechanisms and interactions within and between the (sub-) processes.
