Ist die Warmzeit der 1990iger bis heute nur durch eine natürliche quasizyklische Abfolge oder durch Treibhaus-Effekte bedingt? Sind die Katastrophen jüngster Zeite einmalig oder eine Wiederkehr? Bi...

The Advanced Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is a research facility instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of ASTER's launch in December 1999. ...

Heterogeneous catalysis played, plays, and will continue to play, a major key role in industrial processes for large-scale synthesis of commodity chemicals of global importance, and in catalytic sy...

heterogeneous structures, especially when the data quality is not very high. GAUTIER et al. perform tomographic inversion of local earthquake arrival times for crustal structure and earthquake loca...

Planting trees in the agricultural landscape, in the form of establishing agroforestry systems, has a significant role to play in potentially improving ecosystem services, such as increased biodive...
