Monitor of Settlement and Open Space Development

The IOER Monitor is a research data infrastructure of the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER). It provides various information on land use structure and its development as well as on landscape quality for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Assessment and Modeling of Coupled Ecological and Hydrological Dynamics in the Restored Corridor of a River (REstored CORridor Dynamics - RECORD)

The project objective is to increase mechanistic understanding of coupled hydrological and ecological processes in near-river corridors.

Planning the Flexibility of Wastewater Treatment Plants by means of Scenario Analyses

The planning, sizing and building of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is a costly and laborious task. WWTP are therefore constructed to be long- lasting (25-30 years) and are designed to cope with changes over time of selected factors (e.g. incoming load in 30 years, wastewater temperature in 30 years). Unfortunately, identifying the relevant factors for planning and design, their interconnections, and how they will change over time for such a long time span is an uncertain task. This can lead to over- or undersized WWTPs and to difficulties in adapting the WWTP to changing environmental conditions. The goal of the Ph.D. project is to provide a methodology to improve the way practitioners consider this long term uncertainty during the planning and design phase of a WWTP. The basic concept behind the methodology is the assumption that the future is not predictable. At most one can characterize the range of possible future scenarios that may be encountered. The flexibility of WWTP should enable the plant to adapt to the different and changing scenarios over time with minimal effort. Following questions are to be answered during the project: What are the relevant driving forces affecting the development of a WWTP during its operational life? How are these driving forces cross-linked? How can future scenarios for a WWTP be developed using the relevant driving forces? How can the scenarios be integrated into the planning and design process of a WWTP? What are the flexibilities of a WWTP? How can the flexibility of a WWTP be designed to cope with the expected scenarios? Keywords: Scenario Technique, Flexibility, Adaptive Management, Wastewater Treatment, Uncertainty, Design, Forecasting, Infrastructure

Zenodo

ZENODO builds and operates a simple and innovative service that enables researchers, scientists, EU projects and institutions to share and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data and publications) that are not part of the existing institutional or subject-based repositories of the research communities. ZENODO enables researchers, scientists, EU projects and institutions to: easily share the long tail of small research results in a wide variety of formats including text, spreadsheets, audio, video, and images across all fields of science. display their research results and get credited by making the research results citable and integrate them into existing reporting lines to funding agencies like the European Commission. easily access and reuse shared research results.

Snow-and ice-melt dynamics of Aosta Valley glaciers

The project investigates the dynamics of snow- and icemelt of the glaciers in Aosta Valley that feed hydropower plants, and, specifically, the accuracy of parsimonious and physically oriented melt models in predicting the snowmelt, in view of their operational use for hydropower production.

Tierstimmenarchiv - Museum für Naturkunde Berlin

The Animal Sound Archive at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin is one of the oldest and largest collections of animal sounds. Presently, the collection consists of about 120.000 bioacoustical recordings comprising almost all groups of animals: 1.800 bird species; 580 mammalian species; more then 150 species of invertebrates; some fishes, amphibians and reptiles.

ioerDATA

The Research Data Centre of the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) provides high-resolution data, methods, indicators, models, tools and scenarios for cross-disciplinary, spatial sustainability research. The IOER RDC focuses, among others, on the topics of settlement and open space development, ecosystems of Germany and the built environment. The data and information offered are addressed to scientists, public administrators as well as the general public.
