  • Identifying regions with a risk of heavy rain events in Hesse for planning disaster prevention procedures at a state and municipal level
    The goal of this project is to develop a procedure for automated analysis of radar-meteorological data (RADOLAN) to detect heavy rain events. Regions with a high risk for heavy rain falls will be identified in Hesse based on these results.
    Led by: Gerald Kuhnt
    Team: Jennifer Peußner
    Year: 2015
    Funding: Hessian Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG)
    Duration: 10.2015 - 09.2019
  • Soil erosion monitoring in Baden-Wurttemberg
    This project is monitoring the extent and frequency of soil erosion through water in an area of about 200 hectares since the year 2011. The aim is to obtain long-term empirically secured data on soil erosion due to water under different site and cultivation conditions.
    Led by: Bastian Steinhoff-Knopp
    Year: 2011
    Funding: Landesanstalt für Umwelt, Messungen und Naturschutz Baden-Württemberg (LUBW)
    Duration: since 2011
  • Mapping potential soil erosion in the Canton Basel-Landschaft (Switzerland)
    A digital map of the erosion risk (potential soil erosion) of crop rotation areas in the canton Basel-Landschaft was generated. This map is used to advise farmers, shows the different levels of erosion and also identifies areas where fine soil could reach water bodies.
    Led by: Thomas Mosimann
    Team: Jan Bug
    Year: 2009
    Funding: Canton Basel-Landschaft
    Duration: 2009 - 2010
  • Long-term soil erosion monitoring in Lower Saxony, Germany
    This long-term project is monitoring the extent and frequency of soil erosion through water in an area of 450 hectares since the year 2000. The aim is to obtain long-term empirically secured data on soil erosion due to water under different site and cultivation conditions.
    Led by: Bastian Steinhoff-Knopp
    Year: 2000
    Funding: Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie Niedersachsen (LBEG)
    Duration: since 2000
