</p>Matthias Schroeder2014-05-04T23:18:14ZSuMaRiO at the „Tag der Hydrologie 2014“ in EichstättMatthias Schroederhttp://www.sumario.de/de/c/blogs/find_entry?entryId=2170912014-03-28T00:51:15Z2014-03-25T23:43:25Z<p style="text-align: justify;">
The ‘Tag der Hydrologie’ (Day of Hydrology) is the most important conference on Hydrology in Germanspeaking countries. This year´s host was the Aueninstitut Neuburg and the KU Eichstaett-Ingolstadt under the leadership of Bernd Cyffka. The topic ’Water – Landscape – Human in Past, Present and Future‘ fitted to the research conducted in SuMaRiO. Accordingly the project was represented four times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Tayierjiang Aishan (KUEI) presented a poster on the topic „Monitoring the Hydrological and Ecological Response of Degraded Floodplain Forest Ecosystems to the Rehabilitation Measures in the Lower Tarim River, Northwest China”. The poster was developed in collaboration with the Xinjiang University and CAS.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Christian Rumbaur, Patrick Keilholz (both TUM) and Martin Kuba (KUEI) shared almost one session in whole. While Christian Rumbaur gave a summary about the topic and the project in his presentation „<em>SuMaRiO – Nachhaltiges Management von Flussoasen im Tarimbecken“</em>, Patrick Keilholz and Martin Kuba presented results from their workpackages with the titles „<em>Flächendifferenzierte Modellierung der Grundwasserneubildung natürlicher Auwälder und der Auswirkungen einer veränderten Landnutzung am Tarim Fluss in Nordwestchina“</em> and <em>„Wasserabhängigkeit von Ökosystemen und Ökosystemdienstleistungen des Tarim River, NW China“</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
With more than 160 participants the ‘Tag der Hydrologie’ faced a high interest and the participating SuMaRiO members were able to present the project to research community.</p>
<p>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Am 20.2.2014 traf sich die AG „Riparian Ecosystems“, bestehend aus Birgit Kleinschmit und Philipp Gärtner, Bernd Cyffka und Martin Kuba, Niels Thevs, Patrick Keilholz und Marie Hinnenthal, sowie Frank Thomas und Petra Lang in der Stadt mit der kumuliert minimalen Reisezeit: Fulda. Für Petra Lang war es das erste SuMaRiO-Treffen. Sie ist derzeit noch am Aueninstitut Neuburg/Donau bei Bernd Cyffka beschäftigt und wird am 10.3.2014 in das Trierer SuMaRiO-Team eintreten.</span></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Im Mittelpunkt stand die Frage der Erarbeitung von Indikatoren, die den Zustand der Auwälder im Tarim-Becken möglichst einfach aber doch konkret beschreiben können. Zudem sollte erarbeitet werden, wie die Forschungsergebnisse der verschiedenen Workpackages gebündelt und dem DSS zugänglich gemacht werden können. Hierfür wurden die relevanten Ecosystem Services diskutiert und evaluiert und schlussendlich in einer Liste gesammelt. Diese für bedeutend gehaltenen ESS werden nun parametrisiert und mittels eines Fuzzy Logic-Ansatzes modelliert um die Ergebnisse und das gesammelte Expertenwissen auf diese Weise in ein DSS integrieren zu können.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Außerdem zeigte sich wieder einmal, wie wichtig es besonders in transdisziplinären Projekten ist, eine gemeinsame Sprache zu entwickeln. So wurde der Begriff „Vitalität“ der bisher recht heterogen verwendet wurde, vielfach um einfach den Zustand der Wälder und Bäume zu beschreiben. Eine Kennzeichnung des Zustandes der Auwälder über diesen Begriff allein wurde deshalb wegen der darin enthaltenen Unschärfen verworfen.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Bezüglich der Ecosystem Services – zu dieser Thematik scheint die wissenschaftliche Diskussion noch lange nicht abgeschlossen zu sein – orientiert man sich an den Definitionen des Millenium Ecosystem Assessment Reports von 2005.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Mit dem Treffen wurde der inoffizielle Startschuss der Implementierungsphase für den „Grünen Workblock“ gegeben.</p>

We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 4th COSMOS Workshop, a joint workshop of the COSMOS Project and TERENO.<br />
<br />
COSMOS is an emerging and promising technology for non-contact hourly moisture measurements by measuring low-energy cosmic-ray neutrons above ground, whose intensity is inversely correlated with soil water content and with water in any form above the ground level. The workshop will take place in Leipzig, Germany, on May 5-7, 2014.<br />
<br />
The 4th COSMOS workshop will focus on:<br />
- progress and challenges of cosmic-ray neutron monitoring,<br />
- applications of the cosmic-ray probe to Earth Sciences and hydrology, including agriculture (e.g. monitoring irrigation), meteorology (e.g. weather forecasting), civil engineering (e.g. slope stability), and many other fields.<br />
- the strategic development of global COSMOS network.<br />
<br />
The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists who are interested in the cosmic-ray method and its application, as well as representatives from international and national environmental research networks.<br />
<br />
On our website: <a href="http://www.ufz.de/cosmos/">www.ufz.de/cosmos/</a> , you will find a form to register and to submit proposals for workshop presentations. Please note that the web page will be updated frequently. At this site you will also find support for accommodation arrangements.<br />
<br />

The SuMaRiO Scenario-ESS-DSS Meeting was carried out on 9 July 2012 at University Hohenheim. The objectives of the meeting were to introduce a common framework for operationalising ecosystem services (ESS) in land and water management in the Tarim River Basin, to develop a common socio-economic-ecological/climate-run-off scenario framework and to identify input-output models and ESS/non-ESS indicators that could be included in the SuMaRiO indicator-based DSS. Altogether 14 SuMaRiO members, representing each work block (WB), participated in the meeting. In general, the meeting provided a great opportunity for old and new SuMaRiO members to get to know each other as well as to get a better insight on individual projects. The outcomes of the meeting as well as the power point presentations can be found in SuMaRiO internal website.<br />

Call for Abstracts - UNCCD 2nd Scientific Conference </h3>
<p>
<span style="text-align: justify; ">There is a widespread consensus that the pressing issues of Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought (DLDD) are not yet properly included and addressed in today’s political and private sector agendas on global, national and local levels and that it is therefore of vital importance to raise awareness for the negative impacts but also to address opportunities that decisions regarding land management and ecosystems have. The UNCCD 2nd Scientific Conference therefore aims to gather a broad range of stakeholders - academics, policy makers, private sector and civil society actors alike - to approach DLDD from an economic and holistic point of view. </span></p>

Die UNO-Konferenz über Umwelt und Entwicklung formulierte im Jahr 1992 das globale Leitbild für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung. Seitdem sind 20 Jahre vergangen, und im Wissenschaftsjahr "Zukunftsprojekt ERDE" 2012 ist es berechtigt und notwendig, die Frage zu stellen, wie die Wissenschaften den Auftrag angenommen haben, zum Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit beizutragen. </p>
