In the Harz Mountains former mining has caused extreme heavy metal pollution in the river alluvials discharging from metallic ores or mining areas. Polymetallic soils developed since medieval times, when mining activities ...

Hidden, blind faults have a strong seismic hazard potential. Consequently, there is a great demand for a robust geological indicator of neotectonic activity on such faults. Here, we conduct field measurements of disaggregation ...

For derived flood frequency analysis based on hydrological modelling long continuous precipitation time series with high temporal resolution are needed. Often, the observation network with recording rainfall gauges is poor, ...
