[REPORT SUMMARY] Personal navigation system for indoor environments - a testbed
Motivation
In a rescue situation it is essential to know the position of all human entities. Above all this is a safety issue, but also the modelling and visualization of human perception data depends on accurate position information. Knowing ones position allows efficient coo...

[REPORT SUMMARY] D3.3 Diagnosis of the causes of the European land carbon sink in the context of the Kyoto Protocol
CAMELS uses a novel approach, termed Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) that combines both views and adds a few additional elements. An additional innovation is that CAMELS produces consistent uncertainty bounds on carbon fluxes that are essential for policy purpose...

[REPORT SUMMARY] A 23,000-year record of surface water pH and pCO2 in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere plays a major role in defining the Earth's climate, and studies have shown that atmospheric CO2 levels were lower in glacial times than in inter-glacial periods. Since we also know that the oceans play a key role in c...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Reciprocal sowing
The objective of this study was to investigate whether plants of the monocarpic perennial composites Tragopogon pratensis and Carlina vulgaris show local adaptations at a small scale within populations. The two species differ in their dispersability: Dispersal of the seeds of ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] General concept for satellite interferometric monitoring of large glacial complexes
Advanced observation technology of large glacial complexes using satellite interferometry and altimetry. The monitoring concept is based on a new remote sensing method involving the combination of satellite interferometry and altimetry (INSARAL). Unique combination of technica...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development & integration of ocean carbonate chemistry proxies to better understand the interrelationship between global carbon cycle &climate change
Among the most important challenges remaining to be addressed by Quaternary paleoceanographers is the mechanism responsible for lowering pCO2 during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and possible feedback mechanisms with climate change (e.g. Sigman and Boyle, 2000). During 6C we ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Information on the impact of natural enemies (insect herbivores and pathogens) on the population biology of H mantegazzianum within its native range
We examined the impact of two guilds of herbivores: external feeders and endophagous insects. A general result is that mature H. mantegazzianum plants are quite tolerant to herbivory. This is achieved by several defence mechanisms:
(1) chemical defense by furanocoumarins,
(2...

We inverted the parameters of the terrestrial ecosystem model BETHY against eddy covariance measurements of Net Ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) and Latent heat (LE) flux at different sites considering a priori information about parameters in a Bayesian context. Based on th...
