Singh, Chandrakant (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Fetzer, Ingo (author)Forest and savanna ecosystems naturally exist as alternative stable states. The maximum capacity of these ecosystems to absorb perturbations without transitioning to the other alternative stable state is referred to as ‘resilience’. Previous studies have determined the resilience of terrestrial ecosystems to hydroclimatic changes...journal article 2022

Collard, Fabrice (author), Marié, Louis (author), Nouguier, Frédéric (author), Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Ehlers, F. (author), Ardhuin, Fabrice (author)Wind-generated waves strongly interact with sea ice and impact air-sea exchanges, operations at sea, and marine life. Unfortunately, the dissipation of wave energy is not well quantified and its possible effect on upper ocean mixing and ice drift is still mysterious. As the Arctic is opening up and wave energy increases, the limited amount of...journal article 2022

Mueller, Marlin M. (author), Dubois, Clémence (author), Jagdhuber, Thomas (author), Hellwig, Florian M. (author), Pathe, Carsten (author), Schmullius, Christiane (author), Steele-Dunne, S.C. (author)Forests’ ecosystems are an essential part of the global carbon cycle with vast carbon storage potential. These systems are currently under external pressures showing increasing change due to climate change. A better understanding of the biophysical properties of forests is, therefore, of paramount importance for research and monitoring...journal article 2022

Simons, G.W.H. (author)Downstream reuse of previously withdrawn water resources is a common phenomenon across river basins worldwide, particularly those with (semi-)arid climate conditions and intensive water resources development. Water reuse often occurs unplanned, remains undetected, and as a result is insufficiently considered in water saving attempts, water...doctoral thesis 2021

Bouaziz, L.J.E. (author)Contemplating the Meuse or any other river of the world, one may wonder about the journey of rain in becoming river. This fascinates hydrologists, as they develop theories to understand movement, storage and release of water through the landscape across climates. These theories are translated to hydrological models, which describe the complex...doctoral thesis 2021

Sarna, K. (author)This thesis presents a new method for the continuous observation of aerosol-cloud interactions with ground-based remote sensing instruments. The described method is based on the measurements from UV lidar, radar and radiometer. All of those instruments are capable of obtaining continuous, high-resolution measurements. In order to facilitate its...doctoral thesis 2021
