Description: On the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the ecological crisis appears in every physical and social aspect, and typically affects the rangelands on which most local people depend for their livelihood. Until today, however, changes in land use and vegetation cover on this Plateau have not yet been adequately and practically treated in studying the framework of sustainability. This thesis deals first with the basic ecological influences and interactions before reviewing their implications for development. The limitations of an ecological perspective is recognized, but this stems mainly from the misapplication of perspective and should not detract from its value. Ecology is undoubtedly the most basic and pervasive of the many determinants of the pastoral production systems of the high-frigid land. To ignore ecology or to fail to take it into account is to court disaster. The amount of literature reflects the importance of the subject but is not reviewed here in any detail; rather the aim is simply to set the scene for later discussions.

Description: Considering the importance of migration research and the dearth in literature on migration, the following study has been done, with the intention of examining the complex interrelation between internal migration and the development process in Bangladesh. Thereby, emphasis has been given to the investigation and analysis of the causes of rural-urban migration and its spatial as well as socioeconomic consequences, with examples from Dhaka. To construct a framework for the present study, some consideration has been given to both theoretical as well as empirical studies on internal migration. The discussion of general theories which follows in the next section, has mainly been done to assess the validity of these in the analysis of internal migration in the Third World countries.

Description: Jede Gesellschaft (und jede Stadtregion) muss auf die Auswirkungen dieser Transformation (erhöhte Wohnraumnachfrage, schnelles Wirtschaftswachstum, starkes Dezentralisierungspotential neuer Technologien, drohender Bedeutungsverlust der Kernstadt) reagieren. Wir betrachten im Rahmen dieser Arbeit räumliche Entwicklungen als "kulturelle“ Antwort auf solche Veränderungen. Denn während der ökonomische und technologische Wandel ein eher universelles Phänomen darstellt, unterscheiden sich doch die Strategien zur räumlichen Handhabung und Gestaltung von Wachstum von Land zu Land enorm. So gesehen ist die uns umgebende Realität von Suburbanisierung und Dezentralisierung eben auch das Resultat von Entscheidungen, die unter spezifischen politischen und ideologischen Bedingungen getroffen worden sind. Für die Analyse der Wachstumsideologien haben wir drei westliche Industriestaaten ausgewählt: Kanada, die USA und die Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dabei wurden sowohl die lokale bzw. regionale als auch die Ländern Provinz- bzw. Bundesebene untersucht. Für die lokale Ebene wurden Flächennutzungsmaßnahmen und statistische Wachstumsindikatoren von sechs "Fallbeispielen" analysiert und verglichen: Frankfurt/M.‚ München, Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco und Los Angeles/San Diego. Für die überregionale Ebene ergänzt ein Vergleich staatlicher Steuerungsmaßnahmen die Analyse und Interpretation lokaler Trends.

Description: AROSICS is a python package to perform automatic subpixel co-registration of two satellite image datasets based on an image matching approach working in the frequency domain, combined with a multistage workflow for effective detection of false-positives. It detects and corrects local as well as global misregistrations between two input images in the subpixel scale, that are often present in satellite imagery. The algorithm is robust against the typical difficulties of multi-sensoral / multi-temporal images. Clouds are automatically handled by the implemented outlier detection algorithms. The user may provide user-defined masks to exclude certain image areas from tie point creation. The image overlap area is automatically detected. AROSICS supports a wide range of input data formats and can be used from the command line (without any Python experience) or as a normal Python package.

Description: The EnPT Python package is an automated pre-processing pipeline for the new EnMAP hyperspectral satellite data. It provides free and open-source features to transform EnMAP Level-1B data to Level-2A. The package has been developed at the German Research Centre for Geosciences Potsdam (GFZ) as an alternative to the processing chain of the EnMAP Ground Segment.

Description: This study reviews research data policies and author instructions of 31 journals from the Earth sciences and from biodiversity that are published by German learned societies or research institutions.

Description: MeshIt – a software for three dimensional volumetric meshing of complex faulted reservoirs MeshIt is a software for generating three dimensional high quality, boundary conforming Delaunay tetrahedral meshes for Finite Element (FE) or Finite Volume (FV) Thermo-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) dynamic simulations of complex faulted and fractured reservoir applications. The main goal of MeshIt is to provide an open source, time efficient, robust and “easy to handle” software tool to bridge the gap between geological and dynamic forward models of flow and transport processes in reservoir domains comprising fault zones, wells (open hole section) and induced and/or natural fractures. MeshIt comes with an integrated graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates the user during the different stages of the meshing workflows. Beside third party C libraries, the complete code has been written in the object oriented C++ programming language. In order to provide cross-platform support (Windows, Mac OS X and Unix operating systems under 32 and 64 bit) the open source project Qt has been integrated in the supported library environment. The interactive 3D graphics Application Programming Interface (API) has been developed by relying on the OpenGL library. All graphical processing stages have been interfaced to the open-source, multiplatform visualization software Paraview, the latter being based on the Visualization ToolKit (VTK).

Description: PyGMT is a library for processing geospatial and geophysical data and making publication quality maps and figures. It provides a Pythonic interface for the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), a command-line program widely used in the Earth Sciences.

Description: The GIPPtools software utilities aid with initial pre-processing of recorded data supporting users that borrow instruments from the Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP). All programs in the GIPPtools collection are designed to work with native files produced by DSS-Cube/Data-Cube3 recorders and with miniSEED files written by EDR-209/210 and PR6-24 Portable Field Recorder. However, there is absolutely no reason why the utilities should not work with miniSEED or Cube files produced by other instruments or software as well! The programs can help you to "manage" your recorded data and to prepare the dataset for import into whatever processing system you use for further scientific analysis. You can use the utilities, among other things, to convert, re-organize and cut out (seismic) data from miniSEED and Cube data files.
