Lifestyle changes and openness to change during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany: Data of two telephone surveys

The COVID-19 pandemic as a disruptive event was initially considered an opportunity for a transformation towards more sustainable lifestyles. In two telephone surveys with more than 1000 participants each, we explored in October 2020 and May 2021 how people in Germany experienced the COVID-19 related situation, and in particular the lockdown restrictions. Specifically, we asked how they felt their lives had been impaired during the pandemic; which changes they had experienced as particularly bothersome; which ones they perceived to be beneficial; and how these perceptions related to either their urge to return to “normal” or, in contrast, to their openness towards lifestyle changes. Overall, we found that by 2021, the pandemic had impacted people more negatively than in 2020. Most respondents missed social contacts, traveling and cultural events. Some positive changes – e.g., spending less money for useless things – were mentioned as well. A third of the participants agreed that they would like to question their behavior before the pandemic and live more consciously. Apart from slight differences in gender, age and, most importantly, academic background, socio-economic characteristics hardly help explain why some people were more open to change than others. Therefore, we conducted a cluster analysis and found that respondents with stronger pro-environmental attitudes were more open to change, no matter how much they felt impacted by the pandemic. This finding indicates that pro-environmental values and education seem to be key for more ecologically responsible lifestyle choices. We herewith provide the original questionnaires and datasets of the surveys.

Mechanical and microstructural data used in the article Pijnenburg et al., Deformation behaviour of sandstones from the seismogenic Groningen gas field: Role of inelastic versus elastic mechanisms

Hydrocarbon or groundwater production from sandstone reservoirs can result in surface subsidence and induced seismicity. Subsidence results from combined elastic and inelastic compaction of the reservoir due to a change in the effective stress state upon fluid extraction. The magnitude of elastic compaction can be accurately described using poroelasticity theory. However inelastic or time-dependent compaction is poorly constrained. We use sandstones recovered by the field operator (NAM) from the Slochteren gas reservoir (Groningen, NE Netherlands) to study the importance of elastic versus inelastic deformation processes upon simulated pore pressure depletion. We conducted conventional triaxial tests under true in-situ conditions of pressure and temperature. To investigate the effect of applied differential stress (σ1 – σ3 = 0 - 50 MPa) and initial sample porosity (φi = 12 – 25%) on instantaneous and time-dependent inelastic deformation, we imposed multiple stages of axial loading and relaxation.The obtained data include:1) Mechanical data obtained in conventional triaxial compression experiments performed on reservoir sandstone. In these experiments, we imposed multiple stages of active loading, each followed by 24 hours of stress relaxation.2) Microstructural data obtained on undeformed and deformed samples.

ISIMIP2a Simulation Data from Water (global) Sector (V. 1.1)

VERSION HISTORY:-On October 18, 2018 we republished all simulation data for all water (global) sector impact models to get the data sets into the new ESGF search facet structure. There were no changes to the simulation data.- On November 27, 2018 we republished simulation data for monthly variables swe, soilmoist and rootmoist for impact model PCR-GLOBWB due to an error in the units. Instead of reporting mass per area (kg/m2), values corresponded to mass flux rate (kg/m2/s). Values were thus multiplied by 86400 in order to obtain the correct values in kg/m2. This data caveat was documented in the ISIMIP website (ISIMIP2a: PCR-GLOBWB reported three variables in wrong unit).----------------------------------------------------------------------------The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) simulation data is under continuous review and improvement, and updates are thus likely to happen. All changes and caveats are documented under https://www.isimip.org/outputdata/output-data-changelog/. For accessing the data set as in http://doi.org/10.5880/PIK.2017.010 before November 27, 2018 please write to the ISIMIP Data Management Team: isimip-data[at]pik-potsdam.de.----------------------------------------------------------------------------DATA DESCRIPTION:The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) provides a framework for the collation of a set of consistent, multi-sector, multi-scale climate-impact simulations, based on scientifically and politically-relevant historical and future scenarios. This framework serves as a basis for robust projections of climate impacts, as well as facilitating model evaluation and improvement, allowing for improved estimates of the biophysical and socio-economic impacts of climate change at different levels of global warming. It also provides a unique opportunity to consider interactions between climate change impacts across sectors.ISIMIP2a is the second ISIMIP simulation round, focusing on historical simulations (1971-2010 approx.) of climate impacts on agriculture, fisheries, permafrost, biomes, regional and global water and forests. This may serve as a basis for model evaluation and improvement, allowing for improved estimates of the biophysical and socio-economic impacts of climate change at different levels of global warming.The focus topic for ISIMIP2a is model evaluation and validation, in particular with respect to the representation of impacts of extreme weather events and climate variability. During this phase, four common global observational climate data sets were provided across all impact models and sectors. In addition, appropriate observational data sets of impacts for each sector were collected, against which the models can be benchmarked. Access to the input data for the impact models is provided through a central ISIMIP archive (see https://www.isimip.org/gettingstarted/#input-data-bias-correction).This entry refers to the ISIMIP2a simulation data from global hydrology models: CLM4, DBH, H08, JULES_W1, JULES_B1, LPJmL, MATSIRO, MPI-HM, ORCHIDEE, PCR-GLOBWB, SWBM, VIC, WaterGAP2

Description of changes in the new version:- On October 18, 2018 we republished all simulation data for all impact models to get the data sets into the new search facet structure. There were no changes to the simulation data.- Files for JULES-B1 (formerly JULES_UoE) were not available since the date of issuing the DOI until March 13, 2019. Until that date, these files were only available in the ISIMIP DKRZ server.---------------------------------------------------------------------The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) simulation data is under continuous review and improvement, and updates are thus likely to happen.
