Vorhersage urbaner atmosphärischer Anzahlkonzentrationen ultrafeiner Partikel mit Hilfe von Machine Learning- und Deep Learning-Algorithmen (ULTRAMADE)

Ultrafeine Partikel (UFP) mit einem aerodynamischen Durchmesser kleiner als 100 nm stehen unter dem Verdacht die menschliche Gesundheit zu schädigen, allerdings fehlt bisher die abschließende wissenschaftliche Evidenz aus epidemiologischen Studien. Zur Herleitung von Expositionskonzentrationen gegenüber UFP wurden zum Teil statistische Modellierungsverfahren genutzt um UFP-Anzahlkonzentrationen vorherzusagen. Ein häufig genutztes Verfahren ist eine auf Flächennutzung basierte lineare Regression („land-use regression“, LUR). Allerdings wurden in luftqualitativen Studien auch andere, ausgefeiltere Modellansätze benutzt, z.B. „machine learning“ (ML) oder „deep learning“ (DL), die eine bessere Vorhersagegenauigkeit versprechen. Das Ziel des Projekts ist die Modellierung von UFP-Anzahlkonzentration in urbanen Räumen basierend auf ML- und DL-Algorithmen. Diese Algorithmen versprechen eine bessere Vorhersagegenauigkeit gegenüber linearen Modellansätzen. Mit unserem Modellansatz wollen wir sowohl räumliche als auch zeitliche Variabilität der UFP-Anzahlkonzentrationen abbilden. In einem ersten Schritt werden die Messergebnisse aus mobilen Messkampagnen genutzt um ein ML-basiertes LUR Modell zu kalibrieren. Zusätzlich werden urbane Emissionen aus lokalen Quellen, abseits vom Straßenverkehr, identifiziert und explizit in das Modell einbezogen. In einem zweiten Schritt wird ein DL-Modellansatz basierend auf Langzeit-UFP-Messungen mit dem ML-Modell gekoppelt um die Repräsentierung der zeitlichen Variabilität zu verbessern. Unser vorgeschlagenes Arbeitsprogramm besteht aus fünf Arbeitspaketen (WP): WP 1 beinhaltet mobile Messungen mittels eines mobilen Labors und eines Messfahrads. WP 2 besteht aus stationären Messungen, die an Stationen des German Ultrafine Aerosol Network durchgeführt werden. In WP 3 werden wichtige UFP-Emissionsquellen, insbesondere Nicht-Verkehrsemissionen, mit Hilfe von zusätzlichen kurzzeitigen stationären Messungen identifiziert und quantifiziert. In WP 4 werden ML-Algorithmen genutzt um ein statistisches Modell aufzubauen. Als Kalibrierungsdatensatz werden die Messungen aus WP 1 benutzt. Das Modell wird UFP-Anzahlkonzentrationen mit Hilfe eines Datensatzes aus erklärenden Variablen, u.a. meteorologische Größen, Flächennutzung, urbaner Morphologie, Verkehrsmengen und zusätzlichen Informationen zu UFP-Quellen nach WP 3, vorhersagen. In WP 5 werden die UFP-Anzahlkonzentrationen aus WP 2 für einen DL-Modellansatz genutzt, der die zeitliche Variabilität repräsentieren wird. Dieser wird dann mit dem ML-Modell aus WP 4 gekoppelt. Der Nutzen der Modellkopplung wird mit dem Datensatz aus WP 3 validiert. Aus unserem Projekt wird ein Modell hervorgehen, das in der Lage ist die räumliche und zeitliche Variabilität urbaner UFP-Anzahlkonzentrationen in einer hohen Genauigkeit zu repräsentieren. Damit wird unsere Studie einen Beitrag zur Quantifizierung von Expositionskonzentrationen gegenüber UFP z.B. in epidemiologischen Studien leisten.

NCCR Climate project - Modelling Sectoral Climate Change Policies: Mitigation, Adaptation, and Acceptance (MIADAC) - Work Package 4.3

Three research questions of the project: 1. What global, European and Swiss climate GHG-policies will follow after 2012 and what will be their performance in the long run (up to 2050)? 2. What policies will foster mitigation in the transportation and building and real estate sectors, how can they be made acceptable and what is the role of voluntary approaches? 3. What will be the economic impacts of climate change on tourism and what are the opportunities for mitigation and adaptation?

Methodologies for dealing with uncertainties in landscape planning and related modeling; Uncertainty of predicted hydro-biogeochemical fluxes and trace gas emissions on the landscape scale under climate and land use change

Water, carbon and nitrogen are key elements in all ecosystem turnover processes and they are related to a variety of environmental problems, including eutrophication, greenhouse gas emissions or carbon sequestration. An in-depth knowledge of the interaction of water, carbon and nitrogen on the landscape scale is required to improve land use and management while at the same time mitigating environmental impact. This is even more important under the light of future climate and land use changes.In the frame of the proposal 'Uncertainty of predicted hydro-biogeochemical fluxes and trace gas emissions on the landscape scale under climate and land use change' we advocate the development of fully coupled, process-oriented models that explicitly simulate the dynamic interaction of water, carbon and nitrogen turnover processes on the landscape scale. We will use the Catchment Modelling Framework CMF, a modular toolbox to implement and test hypothesis of hydrologic behaviour and couple this to the biogeochemical LandscapeDNDC model, a process-based dynamic model for the simulation of greenhouse gas emissions from soils and their associated turnover processes.Due to the intrinsic complexity of the models in use, the predictive uncertainty of the coupled models is unknown. This predictive (global) uncertainty is composed of stochastic and structural components. Stochastic uncertainty results from errors in parameter estimation, poorly known initial states of the model, mismatching boundary conditions or inaccuracies in model input and validation data. Structural uncertainty is related to the flawed or simplified description of natural processes in a model.The objective of this proposal is therefore to quantify the global uncertainty of the coupled hydro-biogeochemical models and investigate the uncertainty chain from parameter uncertainty over forcing data uncertainty up the structural model uncertainty be setting up different combinations of CMF and LandscapeDNDC. A comprehensive work program has been developed structured in 4 work packages, that consist of (1) model set up, calibration and uncertainty assessment on site scale followed by (2) an application and uncertainty assessment of the coupled model structures on regional scale, (3) global change scenario analyses and finally (4) evaluating model results in an ensemble fashion.Last but not least, a further motivation of this proposal is to provide project results in a manner that they support planning and decision taking under uncertainty, as this proposal is part of the package proposal on 'Methodologies for dealing with uncertainties in landscape planning and related modelling'.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and behavioural trait expression of polar invertebrates

Here, we examine the ecosystem ramifications of changes in sediment-dwelling invertebrate bioturbation behaviour—a key process mediating nutrient cycling—associated with nearfuture environmental conditions (+ 1.5 °C, 550 ppm [pCO2]) for species from polar regions experiencing rapid rates of climate change. This dataset is included in the OA-ICC data compilation maintained in the framework of the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (see https://oa-icc.ipsl.fr). Original data were downloaded from Polar Data Centre (see Source) by the OA-ICC data curator. In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2024) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of carbonate system variables, as described by Nisumaa et al. (2010). In this dataset the original values were archived in addition with the recalculated parameters (see related PI). The date of carbonate chemistry calculation by seacarb is 2024-07-11.

Maps resulting from Spatial Prioritisation carried out for iAtlantic - Systematic Conservation Planning reported in D5.3 and included in MS25

This data publication contains maps resulting from spatial prioritisations conducted for the iAtlantic D5.3 report on Systematic Conservation Planning of the wider Atlantic Ocean based on results generated by the iAtlantic project. The maps were produced using the prioritizr R package (Hanson et al. 2023), which identifies priority areas for achieving specific conservation goals while minimising costs. The various prioritisations were developed to address multiple research questions related to: (1) identifying priority areas for conservation and restoration, (2) transboundary conservation, (3) climate-smart conservation planning, and (4) protecting 30% of the Atlantic Ocean, including 10% under strict protection. The results are organised into subfolders based on the research questions addressed and further categorised into data-rich and data-poor regions, along with aggregate results for each region. Further, the results are organised into subfolders representing multiple scenarios executed using various cost layers, including area-based, Global Fishing Watch (GFW, 2023) benthic, GFW total fishing, Global Fisheries Landings (GFL, Watson 2019) v4.0 benthic, and GFL v4.0 total landings. Each map filename provides descriptive information about the executed scenario.

Geochemical parameters in peat depth profiles from ombrotrophic bogs in North and Central Europe. Drebbersches Moor, Germany

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).
