Multibeam bathymetry processed data (EM 1002 echosounder entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM62/2

Swath sonar bathymetry data used for that dataset was recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM62/2 using Kongsberg EM1002 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 23.03.2017 and 27.03.2017 in the Baltic Sea. The cruise aimed to investigate the impact of the Littorina transgression on the inflow of saline waters into the western Baltic and assessed the potential for future diminution of ventilation in the central and northern deeper basins due to isostatic uplift [CSR]. CI Citation: Paul Wintersteller (seafloor-imaging@marum.de) as responsible party for bathymetry raw data ingest and approval. During the MSM62/2 cruise, the moonpooled KONGSBERG EM1002 multibeam echosounder (MBES) was utilized to perform bathymetric mapping in shallow depths. The echosounder has a curved transducer in which 111 beams are formed for each ping while the seafloor is detected using amplitude and phase information for each beam sounding. For further information on the system, consult https://www.km.kongsberg.com/. Postprocessing and products were conducted by the Seafloor-Imaging & Mapping group of MARUM/FB5, responsible person Paul Wintersteller (seafloor-imaging@marum.de). The open source software MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, https://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system, 2017) was utilized for this purpose. A sound velocity correction profile was applied to the MSM62/2 data; there were no further corrections for roll, pitch and heave applied during postprocessing. A tide correction was applied, based on the Oregon State University (OSU) tidal prediction software (OTPS) that is retrievable through MB-System. CTD measurements during the cruise were sufficient to represent the changes in the sound velocity throughout the study area. Using Mbeditviz, artefacts were cleaned manually. NetCDF (GMT) grids of the edited data as well as statistics were created with mbgrid. The published bathymetric EM1002 grid of the cruise MSM62/2 has a resolution of 15 m. No total propagated uncertainty (TPU) has been calculated to gather vertical or horizontal accuracy. A higher resolution is, at least partly, achievable. The grid extended with _num represents a raster dataset with the statistical number of beams/depths taken into account to create the depth of the cell. The extended _sd -grid contains the standard deviation for each cell. The DTMs projections are given in Geographic coordinate system Lat/Lon; Geodetic Datum: WGS84.

Historical mapping of canals and ditches and the Danube surface water area in the Greater Donaumoos Region over the last 235 years

This dataset focuses on the historical mapping of the Greater Donaumoos fen region using old maps spanning the last 235 years. The main observations include the georeferencing of these historical maps and the subsequent vectorisation of the anthropogenic ditches and the Danube's surface area. The data collection encompasses maps spanning multiple centuries, providing temporal coverage that highlights landscape changes over significant historical periods. The data was collected to enhance archaeological, historical, and ecological research, offering insights into past landscapes and their transformations over time. The method involved digitising old maps and applying geospatial techniques to align them accurately with current geographical coordinates (Schmidt et al., 2024). This process was essential to create vector data representing the historical state of the ditches and the Danube river in this region. The purpose of this data collection is to provide a valuable resource for researchers studying historical land use, environmental changes, and regional development. The georeferencing and vectorisation processes were conducted using QGIS, ensuring precise alignment and accurate representation of historical features. The data generated from this project is crucial for understanding how the Greater Donaumoos fen region has evolved, offering a foundational dataset for further interdisciplinary studies.

Tree inventory dataset of floodplain forest, Leipzig, Germany

Leipzig is the only major German city in which extensive hardwood floodplain forests have been preserved. At present, drying out and a lack of hydrodynamics pose the greatest challenges for the conservation of the floodplain landscape. Restoring typical floodplain hydrological conditions and habitats can sustainably safeguard biodiversity and numerous ecosystem services in the medium term. To this end, the Lebendige Luppe project aim to reactivate typical floodplain hydrodynamics with inundation over large areas, the restoration of old river courses and the conversion of intensively farmed areas into typical floodplain habitats. The Lebendige Luppe project, itself is a joint project of cities of Leipzig and Schkeuditz and the NABU Saxony as implementation partner and the University of Leipzig and the UFZ-Helmholtz Centre (Partner for accompanying natural and social science) (Scholz et al. 2022). The implemented and planned restoration measures are accompanied by long-term scientific monitoring (UFZ and Leipzig University). For this purpose, 60 permanent observation plots were set up in the area of the measures according to the BACI design (Before-After / Control-Impact), on which the diversity of selected indicator groups (vegetation, molluscs, ground beetles) as well as groundwater dynamics, water and material balance in the soil, carbon storage and forest growth are recorded (Scholz et al. 2022). By integrating further landscape ecology and nature conservation data, a comprehensive analysis of the status quo and the changes in site conditions, biodiversity and ecosystem functions of the floodplain resulting from the expected floodplain dynamisation is possible, which goes beyond what has been available to date. The resulting simulation of hardwood forest responses to the changing abiotic environmental variables are already the basis for assessing the impact of the planned measures in the implementation process. This data publication contains the tree inventory data of the scientific accompanying research of the winters 2013/2014 and 2016/2017 (first inventory) and a repeat inventory from the winter of 2020/21. The Leipzig riparian forest distributed on old hardwood riparian forest (main tree population older than 90 years) of the forestry office of the city of Leipzig and Sachsenforst as state forest (Scholz et al. 2022). All stands were identified as Riparian mixed forests of Quercus robur, Ulmus laevis and Ulmus minor, Fraxinus excelsior or Fraxinus angustifolia, along the great rivers (Ulmenion minoris) – Annex I habitat type (code 91F0).

(Bio)geochemical data Pürgschachen Moor

The dataset contains multi-proxy-analyses (element geochemistry, stable Pb isotopes, humification index, ash content) of a 500-cm-long, 14C dated peat core covering the past ~5000 years from the ombrotrophic Pürgschachen Moor in the Styrian Enns Valley (Austrian Alps).

Modelling of soil moisture in high spatial resolution for farmed grasslands in China based on airborne thermal data

In Inner Mongolia the heterogeneity of rainfall patterns, differences in grazing intensity and topography lead to strong temporal and spatial variability of soil moisture which has great effects on vegetation growth and influences CO2 and water fluxes. The spatial and temporal distribution and variability of near surface soil moisture will be modelled with a new approach using the atmospheric boundary layer model HIRVAC and thermal imagery obtained during the 2009 field campaign within the MAGIM research group. Thermal imagery was collected using a microlite aircraft which emerged as an adequate platform particularly for remote areas. The resulting soil moisture grids will allow for the analysis of spatial soil moisture variability at field and local scale. The high geometrical resolution (1 m) closes the gap between point surface and satellite measurements.

KRITIS Scalable Safe and Secure Modules, Subproject: Small Safe and Secure Modules

Under the IT Security Act 2.0, operators of critical infrastructures are obliged to operate their IT systems in accordance with the current state of the art. At the same time, the number of cyber attacks on communications equipment and operational facilities is growing, with the aim of causing damage and gaining control of critical systems. Without IT security measures, attacks can lead to the point of disruption of service. However, challenges arise when integrating established security functions from the enterprise environment into SCADA networks, which require innovative new approaches to improve resilience in the long term. In addition to the need for a system to effectively detect attacks, there is the problem of updating cryptographic techniques over the deployment period of the components to counteract the much shorter expected lifetime of the algorithms. The funding project therefore aims to protect all vertical and horizontal data communications from control centers to terminals by integrating security modules into the systems at various scaling levels. These modules are to implement state-of-the-art IT security functions over the entire service life of the CRITIS components, cryptographically securing communications and detecting attacks at an early stage. In the S3M subproject, CANWAY is developing modules for connecting the perimeter boundary between the wide-area SCADA system and the local distribution stations, as well as for connecting the local field level with the field devices. The modules are responsible for securing any communication paths by cryptographic measures and thus provide protection against attacks up to sensors or actuators of critical infrastructures.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1158: Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice Areas; Bereich Infrastruktur - Antarktisforschung mit vergleichenden Untersuchungen in arktischen Eisgebieten, Funktionelle Adaption an polare Licht-Bedingungen in marine Mikro-Eukaryoten

Die Tages- und Jahreszeit abhängigen Lichtverhältnisse in den verschiedenen Breitengraden sind eines der stabilsten Umweltsignale und bestimmen zusammen mit den lokalen klimatischen Bedingungen und den biochemischen Wassereigenschaften die spektrale Lichtzusammensetzung und die Lichtintensität im Ozean. Meeresorganismen haben sich an diese lokalen Lichtbedingungen angepasst, was wiederum ihre Fitness erhöht und zum Fortbestand der jeweiligen Art beiträgt. Bei marinen Mikro-Eukaryoten ist eine Vielzahl von Photorezeptoren bekannt, die an diesem Prozess der Anpassung an das vorherrschende Lichtregime beteiligt sind. Es gibt jedoch keine Studien über spezifische Anpassungen von Photorezeptoren in polaren marinen Mikro-Eukaryoten, obwohl das polare Lichtfeld aufgrund seiner extremen Saisonalität, einschließlich langer Perioden der Dunkelheit und langer Perioden mit niedrigem Sonnenstand, eine Besonderheit darstellt. Unser Ziel ist es daher zu verstehen, wie die Photorezeptoren insbesondere von Primärproduzenten im Südlichen Ozean, die die Grundlage für wichtige Ökosystemprozesse bilden, an ihren Anpassungen an die lokalen Lichtverhältnisse beteiligt sind. Das Ziel dieses Projekts trägt zu 3 übergreifenden Themen bei: 1) Reaktionen auf den Klimawandel, 2) Verbindungswege zu den niederen Breiten und 3) Verbessertes Verständnis von polaren Prozessen und Mechanismen. Um das Projektziel zu erreichen, werden wir verschiedene Arten von Untersuchungen durchführen, deren Ergebnisse wissenschaftlich kohärente Informationen liefern werden. Dazu gehört die eine vergleichende Analyse von Blaulicht-Photorezeptoren, die auf neu generierten Sequenzdaten sowie öffentlich verfügbaren Genom-, Transkriptom- und Metatranskriptomdaten basiert. Dieser Ansatz wird es uns ermöglichen, biogeographische Grenzen spezifischer Blaulicht-Photorezeptor-Sequenzen zu identifizieren. Darüber hinaus werden wir die Sequenzinformationen für eine biophysikalische Charakterisierung der Blaulicht-Photorezeptoren auf Proteinebene nutzen. Anhand der intrazellulären Signale, die von Blaulicht-Photorezeptoren ausgelöst werden, und der biophysikalischen Charakterisierung auf Proteinebene werden wir eine Beschreibung ihrer Empfindlichkeit gegenüber der spektralen Zusammensetzung des Blaulichtfeldes erstellen können. Insgesamt werden die Ergebnisse dieses Projekts Aufschluss darüber geben, wie spezifisch die Rezeptoren im Südlichen Ozean in Bezug auf Sequenzevolution, Empfindlichkeit und Absorptionsverhalten sind. Im Hinblick auf die globalen Klimaveränderungen kann uns dies Aufschluss darüber geben, wie spezifische Anpassungen an lokale photische Bedingungen die Verschiebung von Verbreitungsgebieten begrenzen können, da die Temperaturen in den Polarregionen zweifellos steigen, die Sonneneinstrahlung jedoch nicht.
