Chemical analysis of explosive chemicals in water, sediments, and mussels (Mytilus spp.) from three shipwrecks from World War I and II in the North Sea

This dataset contains the results of chemical analyses of water, sediment, and marine bivalves (Mytilus spp.) for residues of submerged munitions, which were taken during various field excursions to three wrecks from the First and Second World Wars in the North Sea: KW58 (Belgium), SMS Mainz (Germany), and UC30. Water and sediments were collected using CTD rosette water samplers and Van Veen sediment grabs (SMS Mainz), or by divers (KW58 and UC30). The mussels for mussel monitoring were collected near the island of Sylt (Germany) and exposed in cages on the wrecks for several weeks. Samples were frozen immediately on board and transferred to the lab for examination. All samples were analyzed for the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and its two primary metabolites, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, using gas chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

A multi-biomarker approach using caged blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, on three World War shipwrecks in the North Sea

This dataset contains results from a field-based exposure study assessing the biological effects of submerged munitions on the marine bivalve Mytilus spp.. Mussels were collected from Sylt Island (North Sea) and exposed at three historic munition wrecks: SMS Mainz (Germany), KW58 Hendericus (Belgium), and UC30 (Denmark). At each site, mussel cages were deployed directly on or near the wreck structures for several weeks. After recovery, mussels were assessed for mortality and dissected for histochemical and biochemical analyses. Tissues (gills, mantle, and digestive gland) were examined for histological biomarkers including lipofuscin, glycogen, neutral lipids, as well as sex and gonadal maturity. Enzymatic activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were measured spectrophotometrically and normalized to protein content.

Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive - version 3.0, Mar. 2025

The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).

Homogenization of the early mean monthly temperature time series for the Netherlands and Belgium (HClim)

Instrumental meteorological observations are essential for analysing past climate and reconstructing climate variability. However, many of the long instrumental climate series, some extending back to 1658, have been affected by inhomogeneities (artificial shifts) caused by changes in measurement conditions such as station relocations, instrumentation changes, and environmental modifications. To address this problem, homogenization procedures have been developed to detect and adjust such inhomogeneities. In this work, the records undergo homogenization analysis, during which these inhomogeneities are identified and corrected. The Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT), developed by Hans Alexandersson, is applied as the statistical method, comparing candidate series with neighbouring reference stations to assess relative homogeneity. The article presents homogenization analyses using three different tools (CLIMATOL, BART, and PHA) applied to the published global multivariable monthly instrumental climate database HCLIM (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.940724). The resulting database includes the best-performing homogenized series - those produced by BART - comprising 2,892 homogenized temperature time series covering the period 1757–2020.

Internationale Geologische Karte von Europa und den Mittelmeerregionen 1:1.500.000 - Blatt B4 London

"Carte Géologique Internationale de l'Europe et des Régions Méditerranéennes 1 : 1 500 000" - Anlässlich des 2. Internationalen Geologen-Kongresses in Bologna 1881 wurde von der neu gegründeten "Kommission für die geologische Karte von Europa" der Beschluss zur Herausgabe einer Internationalen Geologischen Karte von Europa im Maßstab 1 : 1 500 000 (IGK 1500) gefasst. In den Händen der Kommission lag die Kompilierung und Herausgabe des Kartenwerkes; Redaktion und Druck oblag der Preußischen Geologischen Landesanstalt und ihrer Nachfolger, sprich dem Reichsamt für Bodenforschung und der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe. 1913 - 32 Jahre nach dem Beschluss zur Erstellung des Kartenwerks - wurde die 1. Auflage mit 49 Blättern fertig gestellt. Für eine 2. Auflage entschied man sich bereits 1910. Doch bedingt durch die beiden Weltkriege wurden zwischen 1933 und 1959 nur 12 Blätter gedruckt. 1960 fiel der Vorschlag für eine kombinierte 2. und 3. Auflage der Karte. Im Zuge dieser Neukonzeption erschien 1962 eine neue Legende, 1970 deren Erweiterung. 1964 wurden die ersten Blätter der Neuauflage gedruckt. Ende 1999 lagen alle 45 Kartenblätter der Neuauflage vor, wobei das letzte Blatt "AMMAN" bereits digital mit Freehand 8 erstellt ist. Titelblatt und Generallegende, die auf zwei Blättern des Kartenwerks platziert sind, wurden im Frühjahr 2000 - 87 Jahre nach Abschluss der 1. Auflage - gedruckt. Das vollständige Gesamtwerk der Internationalen Geologischen Karte von Europa im Maßstab 1 : 1 500 000 (IGK 1500) wurde auf dem Internationalen Geologen-Kongress in Rio de Janeiro im August 2000 vorgestellt. Die IGK 1500 zeigt auf 55 Blättern die Geologie des europäischen Kontinents vom Osten des Uralgebirges bis Island sowie der gesamten Mittelmeerregion. Die Geologie wird unterschieden nach Stratigraphie, magmatischen und metamorphen Gesteinen. Zusätzlich gibt es zwei Legendenblätter und ein Titelblatt. Die Sprache des Kartenwerks ist Französisch.

Climatic suitability for the transmission of chikungunya in Europe (1951-2021), Apr 2023

This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in the basic reproduction number (R0) for chikungunya transmission in the period 1951-2021. The basic reproduction number of chikungunya from Aedes mosquitos is calculated using a model to capture the influence of temperature and rainfall on mosquito vectorial capacity and mosquito abundance, and overlaying it with human population density data to estimate the R0 (i.e., the expected number of secondary infections resulting from one infected person).

The service contains information on the European monitoring sites used for the assessment of the status of surface water bodies and groundwater bodies in the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP). The information was reported to the European Commission under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting obligations. The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 2nd RBMPs due in 2016 (hereafter WFD2016). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715 for further information on the WFD2016 reporting. Relevant concepts: Monitoring site: [Operational definition. Not in the WFD] Monitoring point included in a WFD surveillance, operational or investigative monitoring programme. Surface water body: Body of surface water means a discrete and significant element of surface water such as a lake, a reservoir, a stream, river or canal, part of a stream, river or canal, a transitional water or a stretch of coastal water. Surface water: Inland waters, except groundwater; transitional waters and coastal waters, except in respect of chemical status for which it shall also include territorial waters. Groundwater body: 'Body of groundwater' means a distinct volume of groundwater within an aquifer or aquifers. Groundwater: All water which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone and in direct contact with the ground or subsoil.

Karte der oberflächennahen Rohstoffe der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1:200.000 (KOR200) - CC 5502 Köln

Die Karte oberflächennaher Rohstoffe 1:200.000 (KOR 200) ist ein Kartenwerk, das gemeinsam von der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe und den Staatlichen Geologischen Diensten der Länder (SGD) im Auftrag des Bundesministers für Wirtschaft und Arbeit auf Beschluss der Länderwirtschafts­minister vom 22. Juni 1984 erarbeitet wird. Das Kartenwerk folgt dem Blattschnitt der topographischen Übersichtskarte 1:200.000 (TÜK 200) und besteht aus 55 Kartenblättern mit jeweils einem Erläuterungsheft. Es erfolgt eine Bestandsaufnahme, Beschreibung, Darstellung und Dokumentation der Vorkommen und Lagerstätten von mineralischen Rohstoffe, die üblicherweise im Tagebau bzw. an oder nahe der Erdoberfläche gewonnen werden. Im Besonderen sind dies Industrieminerale, Steine und Erden, Torfe, Braunkohle, Ölschiefer und Solen. Die Darstellung der oberflächennahen Rohstoffe und die zusätzlichen schriftlichen Informationen sind für die Erarbeitung überregionaler, bundesweiter Planungsunterlagen, die die Nutzung oberflächennaher mineralischer Rohstoffe berühren, unentbehrlich. Auf der Karte sind neben den umgrenzten, je nach Rohstoff farblich unterschiedlich dargestellten Lagerstätten- bzw. Rohstoffflächen "Abbaustellen" (=Betriebe) bzw. "Schwerpunkte mehrerer Abbaustellen" mit je einem Symbol dargestellt. Die Eintragungen in der Karte werden ergänzt durch Texterläuterungen. Die Erläuterungsbände haben üblicherweise einen Umfang von 40 - 80 Seiten und sind derzeit nur in der gedruckten Ausgabe der Karte verfügbar. Der Text ist gegliedert in: - Einführung - Beschreibung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen nutzbarer Gesteine - Rohstoffwirtschaftliche Bewertung der Lagerstätten und Vorkommen oberflächennaher Rohstoffe im Blattgebiet - Verwertungsmöglichkeiten der im Blattgebiet vorkommenden nutzbaren Gesteine - Schriftenverzeichnis - Anhang (u. a. mit Generallegende und Blattübersicht) Die KOR 200 stellt somit die Rohstoffpotentiale in Deutschland in bundesweit vergleichbarer Weise dar und liefert eine Grundlage für künftige Such- und Erkundungsarbeiten sowie einen Beitrag zur Sicherung der Rohstoffversorgung.
