Lu, G. (author), Hagan, M.E. (author), Häusler, K. (author), Doornbos, E.N. (author), Bruinsma, S. (author), Anderson, B.J. (author), Korth, H. (author)We present a case study of the 5 April 2010 geomagnetic storm using observations and numerical simulations. The event was driven by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection and despite being a moderate storm with a minimum Dst near ?50 nT, the event exhibited elevated thermospheric density and surges of traveling atmospheric disturbances (TADs) more...journal article 2014

Böhler, R. (author)The safety of nuclear power plants is one of the major issues in nuclear materials research. In this context, this PhD thesis presents an original experimental investigation of melting behaviour of several refractory nuclear materials, whose phase diagrams are often still uncertain at temperatures exceeding 2500 K. The physicochemical properties...doctoral thesis 2014

(author)We measure the low-frequency thermal fluctuations of pure spin current in a platinum film deposited on yttrium iron garnet via the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE)-mediated voltage noise as a function of the angle ? between the magnetization and the transport direction. The results are consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in terms...journal article 2014

(author)Many environmental systems models, such as conceptual rainfall-runoff models, rely on model calibration for parameter identification. For this, an observed output time series (such as runoff) is needed, but frequently not available (e.g., when making predictions in ungauged basins). In this study, we provide an alternative approach for parameter...journal article 2014
