Description / Table of Contents: The magnetic field of the Earth varies in space and time. Geomagnetism as research area that aims to describe and understand the sources of these variations is supported by two pillars: first, regular high-precision measurements in the global network of magnetic observatories and repeat stations are necessary to register the field and its variations at all. Second, mathematical methods are required in order to extract magnetic field models from this large data set. Methods applied to data offer insights in the mechanisms generating the magnetic field. This thesis covers both subjects. In a first part, following the description of the state of the art in observatory instrumentation, I explain in detail two instruments that have the potential to streamline the classical procedures: The Geomagnetic AUtomated SyStem GAUSS paves the way to automated absolute measurements, up to now only possible manually. The newly developed DI3 technique improves and simplies the standard manual measurements signicantly and thus reduces the requirements placed on observers. The second part deals with the mathematical tools available for geomagnetic field modelling. I focus on harmonic splines that can be derived from the classical approach of spherical harmonics. These base functions are interpolatory and have a localised shape while satisfying Laplaces equation. Hence, they are applicable to fit data regionally or globally. The harmonic splines are used with a data set made of repeat station and observatory measurements from Southern Africa. This region is of special interest because the field intensity is very low and and both spatial and temporal field gradients exist. Subdivided into an analysis of ancient (years 1961-2001) and recent (2005-2009) data, two continuous regional field models SAMS and X-SAMS are derived. From the analysis of the field models, a better understanding of the field behaviour is gained. Finally, the harmonic splines are used in a case study on globally distributed secular variation data. Rotating the data set in a system of coordinates aligned with the dipole axis and modelling it with the harmonic splines reveals the external origin of observed fast variations.

Description / Table of Contents: The interplay between Geology and Biology has shaped the Earth from the early Precambrian, 4 billion years ago. Moving beyond the borders of the classical core disciplines, Geobiology strives to identify cause-and-effect chains and synergisms between the geo- and the biospheres that have been driving evolution of life in modern and ancient environments. Combining modern methods, geobiological information can be extracted not only from visible remains of organisms, but also from organic molecules, rock fabrics, minerals, isotopes and other tracers. Exploring these processes and their signatures also creates enormous applied potentials with respect to issues of environment protection, public health, energy and resource management. The Encyclopedia of Geobiology is designed as a key reference for students, researchers, teachers, and the informed public to provide basic, but comprehensible knowledge on this rapidly expanding discipline at the interface between modern geo- and biosciences.

Description / Table of Contents: The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most destructive tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history. The tsunamis that occurred as a result of the earthquake in Japan in March 2011 further emphasized the need for detection, monitoring, and early-warning technologies. This professional reference is the first of its kind: it provides a globally inclusive review of the current state of tsunami detection technology and will be a much-needed resource for oceanographers and marine engineers working to upgrade and integrate their tsunami warning systems. It focuses on the two main tsunami warning systems (TWS): International and Regional. Featured are comparative assessments of detection, monitoring, and real-time reporting technologies. The challenges of detection through remote measuring stations are also addressed, as well as the historical and scientific aspects of tsunamis. It offers readers the only source of practical content on the technological details of the subject. It is written by a tsunami detection and monitoring expert who has 32 years of experience in the field.It provides a companion web site featuring multi-media components, timely updates on fast-paced technological developments, and an online forum where scientists can exchange ideas, discuss technological updates and provide the author with valuable feedback.The devastating impacts of tsunamis have received increased focus since the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the most destructive tsunami in over 400 years of recorded history.

Description / Table of Contents: Der zentralasiatische Raum liegt im Schnittpunkt strategischer Interessen von Russland, China und USA. Die Zentralasiaten selbst sind von "Figuren" zu "Spielern" geworden. An die Stelle des "Great Game" des 19. Jh. traten Auseinandersetzungen wie der Wettstreit um den Zugang zu Energie (Öl & Gas), der Kampf ums Wasser (Trinkwasser, Bewässerungsfeldbau, Hydroenergie) aber auch die "Geopolitik" des Organisierten Verbrechens (Drogen). Versinkt die Region "Zentralasien und Afghanistan" (AFZA) in Korruption, verrottenden Infrastrukturen, Gewalt und defizienter Staatlichkeit oder mobilisiert sie Kräfte in Richtung Reform, Herrschaft des Rechts und regionaler Ordnung ("Governance")? Was kommt in der Region vom Hindukusch bis zum Kaspischen Meer nach Abzug der Koalitionstruppen aus Afghanistan? "Geopolitik und Governance" konzentriert sich auf die - für Europa wichtige - "Energie-Governance"(Energiesicherheit) und die "Wasser-Governance"(Wassernutzungsrecht) mit dem Ziel, das Ringen um den Zugang zu Energie völkerrechtlich zu befrieden und Interessengegensätze zwischen den "Öl- und Gasmächten "Kasachstan, Turkmenistan und Usbekistan und den "Wassermächten" Kirgistan, Tadschikistan (und Afghanistan) auszugleichen. Fruchtbar gemacht wird ein Governance-Modell, das "Multiebenen"-, "Multiakteur"- und "Multiinstrumental" -Analysen umfasst - mit Bezug zur "vernetzten Sicherheit" Wie Kohle und Stahl im Nachkriegseuropa, bilden "Wasser & Energie" im AFA-Raum ein Substrat regionalen Friedens unter der Herrschaft des Rechts. - Lesen sollten das Buch Vertreter der international tätigen Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft; Politiker, Diplomaten und Entwicklungsexperten; in "Netzindustrien" aktive Anwälte, Ingenieure und Finanzfachleute sowie an Staatslehre, Sicherheitspolitik und Völkerrecht Interessierte.

Description / Table of Contents: Die Publikation stellt die bis in das 19. Jahrhundert zurückreichende Vorgeschichte und die der Gründung der Deutschen Akademie der Technikwissenschaften vorausgehenden Ereignisse dar. Im traditionellen Gefüge der Wissenschaften war lange kein Platz für die im 19. Jahrhundert aufstrebenden Technikwissenschaften, dabei war die nicht anerkannte Wissenschaftlichkeit der Fachrichtung für mehrere Jahrzehnte das wichtigste Argument. Neben der Positionierung innerhalb der Akademien der Wissenschaften seit dem Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wird auch das wechselhafte Verhältnis von Technikwissenschaften und Staat im 20. Jahrhundert betrachtet. Die Diskussionen um das Selbstverständnis der Technikwissenschaften werden vorgestellt und schließlich der Weg bis zur eigenständigen Deutschen Akademie der Technikwissenschaften nachgezeichnet.

Description / Table of Contents: R is a wonderful thing, indeed: in recent years this free, open-source product has become a popular toolkit for statistical analysis and programming. Two of R's limitations -- that it is single-threaded and memory-bound -- become especially troublesome in the current era of large-scale data analysis. It's possible to break past these boundaries by putting R on the parallel path. Parallel R will describe how to give R parallel muscle. Coverage will include stalwarts such as snow and multicore, and also newer techniques such as Hadoop and Amazon's cloud computing platform.
