Analytical data of floodplain, colluvial, Triassic (Buntsandstein), Lopingian (Zechstein) and Pleistocene loess data from the Weiße Elster catchment (Central Germany)

In this dataset, we present grain size and XRF element data of Holocene floodplain and colluvial, Pleistocene loess and Triassic (Buntsandstein) samples from the catchment of the Weiße Elster River (Central Germany). The samples were taken during the DFG-funded project 'Imprints of rapid climate changes and human activity on Holocene hydro-sedimentary dynamics in Central Europe (loess-covered Weiße Elster model region)' [SU491/6-1, ET20/10-1, VE117/7-1, WE5518/1-1, ZI721/13-1] between 2017 - 2025, using open outcrops, hand augering (Pürckhauer) or drilling with an Atlas Copco Cobra Pro hammer. The goal of this study was to obtain sediment provenance for Holocene overbank sediments in the middle Weiße Elster floodplain.

Geochemical parameters in peat depth profiles from ombrotrophic bogs in North and Central Europe. Fochteloër Veen, the Netherlands

This dataset contains geochemical variables measured in six depth profiles from ombrotrophic peatlands in North and Central Europe. Peat cores were taken during the spring and summer of 2022 from Amtsvenn (AV1), Germany; Drebbersches Moor (DM1), Germany; Fochteloër Veen (FV1), the Netherlands; Bagno Kusowo (KR1), Poland; Pichlmaier Moor (PI1), Austria and Pürgschachen Moor (PM1), Austria. The cores AV1, DM1 and KR1 were taken using a Wardenaar sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands) and had diameter of 10 cm. The cores FV1, PM1 and PI1 had an 8 cm diameter and were obtained using an Instorf sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands). The cores FV1, DM1 and KR1 were 100 cm, core AV1 was 95 cm, core PI1 was 85 cm and core PM1 was 200 cm. The cores were subsampeled in 1 cm (AV1, DM1, KR1, FV1) and 2 cm (PI1, PM1) sections. The subsamples were milled after freeze drying in a ballmill using tungen carbide accesoires. X-Ray Fluorescence (WD-XRF; ZSX Primus II, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine Al (μg g-1), As (μg g-1), Ba (μg g-1), Br (μg g-1), Ca (g g-1), Cl (μg g-1), Cr (μg g-1), Cu (μg g-1), Fe (g g-1), K (g g-1), Mg (μg g-1), Mn (μg g-1), Na (μg g-1), P (μg g-1), Pb (μg g-1), Rb (μg g-1), S (μg g-1), Si (μg g-1), Sr (μg g-1), Ti (μg g-1) and Zn (μg g-1). These data were processed and calibrated using the iloekxrf package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024) in R. C, N and their stable isotopes were determined using an elemental analyser linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-3000, Eurovector, Pavia, Italy & Nu Horizon, Nu Instruments, Wrexham, UK). C and N were given in units g g-1 and stable isotopes were given as δ13C and δ15N for stable isotopes of C and N, respectively. Raw data C, N and stable isotope data were calibrated with certified standard and blank effects were corrected with the ilokeirms package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024). Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR) (Agilent Cary 670 FTIR spectromter, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Ca, USA) humification indices (HI) were determined. Spectra were recorded from 600 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 with a resolution of 2 cm-1 and baselines corrected with the ir package (Teickner, 2025) to estimate relative peack heights. The HI (no unit) for each sample was calculated by taking the ratio of intensities at 1630 cm-1 to the intensities at 1090 cm-1. Bulk densities (g cm-3) were estimated from FT-MIR data (Teickner et al., in preparation).

Untersuchungen zum Einfluss der Abwasserzufuhr aus einem TiO2-Werk in der Wesermuendung

1969 liess sich in der Naehe von Nordenham (Weser gegenueber Bremerhaven) das Chemieunternehmen Kronos-Titan nieder. Um die Folgen der Abwassereinleitung durch die Firma festzustellen, wurde im Dezember 1967 ein Monitoring-Programm zur Beweissicherung begonnen. Auf diese Weise wurden der Status vor der Inbetriebnahme und durch Langzeituntersuchungen die oekologischen Auswirkungen nach der Inbetriebnahme der Chemieanlage untersucht. Die Untersuchungen umfassen sowohl das Mikroplankton als auch das Makrozoobenthos. Fuer die Plankton-Erfassung werden einmal pro Jahr (meist im Juni) 22 Proben zwischen dem Leuchtturm 'Roter Sand' und Bremen entnommen; neben den Mikroplanktonorganismen werden die physikalisch-chemischen Begleitparameter O2, Temperatur, Salzgehalt, Truebung, Chlorophyll und Naehrsalze bestimmt. Zweimal im Jahr wird an 7 Stationen in der Naehe des Unternehmens das Makrozoobenthos, die Sedimentbeschaffenheit und der Schwermetallgehalt im Sediment und ausgewaehlten Organismengruppen erfasst.

Entwicklung innovativer PECVD-Beschichtungsverfahren für metallische Bipolarplatten zur Kostenreduktion von PEM-Elektrolyseuren, Teilvorhaben: Messtechnische Untersuchung von korrosionsresistenten Beschichtungen für metallischen Bipolarplatten

Die Abkehr von fossilen Energieträgern wird in den kommenden Jahrzehnten zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der Wasserstofferzeugung führen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Elektrolyse, bei der mit Hilfe von Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen Wasser in Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff gespalten wird. PEM-Elektrolyseure (Protonen-Austausch-Membran-Elektrolyseure) besitzen hierbei ein großes Potential, da sie eine hohe Dynamik bei kompakter Bauweise erreichen können. Einer größeren Verbreitung von PEM-Elektrolyseuren stehen allerdings relativ hohen Investitionskosten entgegen, die u.a. dem Einsatz von Bipolarplatten aus Titan geschuldet sind. Bei anderen, metallischen Bipolarplatten kommt es auf Grund der elektrochemischen Korrosion zu einem hohen Verschleiß und kurzer Lebensdauer. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es das Ziel des Projektes, Beschichtungsverfahren für metallischen Bipolarplatten zu entwickeln, welche zu einer deutlichen Kostenreduktion von PEM-Elektrolyseuren beitragen. Als Trägermaterialien werden kostengünstige Metalle, wie Edelstahl aber auch Aluminium betrachtet. Die Beschichtung mit Si, C, Ti o.ä. erfolgt mittels Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD), womit die Einbindung in die industrielle Serienfertigung sichergestellt wird.

XRF core-scanning data of composite sediment core ROD11 from the crater basin of Rodderberg, Germany

XRF core-scanning data characterizes the sediment composition geochemically and supports palaeoclimatic reconstruction of glacial/interglacial cycles for the Middle Pleistocene sediment record from the crater basin of Rodderberg, Germany. A 72.8 m long sediment record was recovered by means of wire-line drilling with 3 m long liners from the silted-up crater basin of Rodderberg (East Eifel Volcanic Field) in the vicinity of the city of Bonn, Germany. The composite record ROD11 was subjected to XRF core scanning with a spatial resolution of 2 mm using an ITRAX XRF core scanner, Cox Analytics with a Molybdenum X-ray tube (Croudace et al., 2019; Croudace and Rothwell, 2015). The measurements were conducted with a fixed setting of 30 kV, 40 mA, and an exposure time of 5 s. The software Q-spec (Cox Analytics) was employed for processing of the scanner output and calculation of qualitative elemental measurements in counts. Principal component analysis was then employed to reduce the data dimension and identify latent environmental control factors for the reliable set of elemental data in the normalized (clr-transformed) and standardized XRF dataset (Bertrand et al., 2024). Valued by multiple dating techniques for the past 430 ka, this terrestrial record provides an environmental reconstruction since the Middle Pleistocene.

Trace metal distribution for water samples of the cruise AT010

Offshore wind energy is a steadily growing sector contributing to the worldwide energy production. The impact of these offshore constructions on the marine environment, however, remains unclear in many aspects. In fact, little is known about potential emissions from corrosion protection systems such as organic coatings or galvanic anodes composed of Al and Zn alloys, used to protect offshore structures. In order to assess potential chemical emissions from offshore wind farms and their impact on the marine environment water and sediment samples were taken in and around offshore wind farms of the German Bight between 04.04.2022 and 14.04.2022 within the context of the Hereon-BSH project OffChEm II. The water samples were taken in metal-free GO-FLO sampling bottles, filtered over <0.45 µm polycarbonate filters into pre-cleaned LDPE bottles and acidified with nitric acid. The filtrates were then measured for their (trace) metal concentrations with ICP-MS/MS coupled online to a seaFAST preconcentration and matrix removal system.

Elbe Element Explorer 2018-2023: A time series of dissolved metals in the Elbe river

The river Elbe flows through Geesthacht right before the tidal part of the Elbe begins. In order to monitor and investigate the metal load and transport from the upstream river with a study focus on extreme events, water samples were taken weekly from the Geesthacht riverbank a couple of kilometers upstream of the weir starting in April 2018 and going until April 2023. During extreme events, i.e. floods or droughts, the sampling interval was increased to (bi-)daily sampling. The water samples were taken in pre-cleaned LDPE bottles, filtered over <0.45 µm polycarbonate filters into pre-cleaned LDPE bottles/tubes and acidified with nitric acid. The filtrates were then measured for their (trace) metal concentrations with ICP-MS/MS coupled online to a seaFAST preconcentration and matrix removal system. The physiochemical parameters pH value, dissolved oxygen, temperature and conductivity were measured for each sample using a corresponding multimeter probe.

Geochemical composition of S1 sediment core from Lower Odra Valley, NW Poland

Oxbow lakes are continuous archives of flood events. On 28th June 2022 a 7.5 m long bottom sediment core (S1: 53.24758°N and 14.46271°E, 2.4 m b.s.l.) was collected from an oxbow lake in the Lower Odra Valley, NW Poland. Drilling was conducted using an Instorf sampler (Russian type; chamber dimension: 10 x 50 cm), onboard a "Manat" catamaran motorboat. After core recovery, each half-metre section was packed into a PVC tube and kept in cool rooms with a constant temperature. Samples were collected every 4 cm. For the first 2 m of the core grain-size, geochemical and Chironomidae analyses as well as radiocarbon dating were performed, which allow to identify flood events in the last 3200 years.
