This paper was initiated by a multidisciplinary Topic Workshop in the frame of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Priority Program 1158 “Antarctic Research with Comparative Investigations in Arctic Ice Areas”, and hence it represents only the national view without claiming to be complete but is intended to provide awareness and suggestions for the...
An empirical model to predict hourly global solar irradiance under all-sky conditions as a function of absorbing and scattering factors has been applied at the Dome C station in the Antarctic, using measured solar radiation and meteorological variables. The calculated hourly global solar irradiance agrees well with measurements at the ground in 200...
Small changes in the radiation budget at the earth's surface can lead to large climatological responses when persistent over time. With the increasing debate on anthropogenic influences on climatic processes during the 1980s the need for accurate radiometric measurements with higher temporal resolution was identified, and it was determined that the...

The GIK-Archive of radiographs is a collection of X-ray negative and photographic images of sediment cores based on exposures taken since the early 1960s. During four decades of marine geological work at the University of Kiel, Germany, several thousand hours of sampling, careful preparation and X-raying were spent on producing a unique archive of...
Recent advances in underwater imaging technology allow for the gathering of invaluable scientific information on seafloor ecosystems, such as direct in situ views of seabed habitats and quantitative data on the composition, diversity, abundance, and distribution of epibenthic fauna. The imaging approach has been extensively used within the research...

Measuring temperature and salinity profiles in the world's oceans is crucial to understanding ocean dynamics and its influence on the heat budget, the water cycle, the marine environment and on our climate. Since 1983 the German research vessel and icebreaker Polarstern has been the platform of numerous CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth instrum...

The research vessel and supply icebreaker POLARSTERN is the flagship of the Alfred-Wegener-Institut in Bremerhaven (Germany) and one of the infrastructural pillars of German Antarctic research. Since its commissioning in 1982, POLARSTERN has conducted 30 campaigns to Antarctica (157 legs, mostly austral summer), and 29 to the Arctic (94 legs, north...
The poster offers information about the World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) of the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN). I lists the available datasets and explain how to obtain data via web.
The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008
was a synchronized effort to simultaneously collect data from polar regions.
Being the fourth in a series of IPYs, the demand for interdisciplinarity and
new data products was high. However, despite all the research done on land,
people, ocean, ice and atmosphere and the large amount of data collected, n...

Scientific ocean drilling began in 1968 and ever since has been generating huge amounts of data, including that from shipboard analysis of cores, in situ borehole measurements, long-term subseafloor hydrogeological observatories, and post-expedition research done on core samples and data at laboratories around the world (Smith et al., 2010). Much o...
In this study, the Mean Transit Time and Mixing Model Analysis methods are combined to unravel the runoff generation process of the San Francisco River basin (73.5 km2) situated on the Amazonian side of the Cordillera Real in the southernmost Andes of Ecuador. The montane basin is covered with cloud forest, sub-páramo, pasture and ferns. Nested sam...
Wasser ist ein natürlicher Bestandteil unseres Lebens. Wir trinken es, waschen und kochen damit, wässern unsere Pflanzen und nutzen es auch sonst auf vielfältige Weise als Roh- und Werkstoff. In Deutschland sind rund 99 Prozent der Bevölkerung an das Trinkwassernetz angeschlossen (UBA 2010a), sodass die jederzeitige und ausreichende Verfügbarkeit v...

Tropical mountain regions are characterized by strong spatial climate gradients which together with the limited amount of data and knowledge of the underlying processes hinder the management of the water resources. Especially for regional-scale prediction it is important to identify the dominant factors controlling the rainfall-runoff response and...
En la actualidad, la disponibilidad de modelos digitales de elevación digital (MDEs) para representar la superficie de la tierra permite el acoplamiento de modelos hidráulicos con sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) para determinar la extensión de una inundación y los niveles del agua en la llanura de inundación. Muchos estudios de mapeo de in...
To improve our knowledge of the influence of land-use on solute behaviour and export rates in neotropical montane catchments we investigated total organic carbon (TOC), Ca, Mg, Na, K, NO3 and SO4 concentrations during April 2007-May 2008 at different flow conditions and over time in six forested and pasture-dominated headwaters (0.7-76 km(2)) in Ec...

Despite the importance of tropical montane cloud forest streams, studies investigating aquatic communities in these regions are rare and knowledge on the driving factors of community structure is missing. The objectives of this study therefore were to understand how land-use influences habitat structure and macroinvertebrate communities in cloud fo...
We investigated controls on the water chemistry of a South Ecuadorian cloud forest catchment which is partly pristine, and
partly converted to extensive pasture. From April 2007 to May 2008 water samples were taken weekly to biweekly at nine different
subcatchments, and were screened for differences in electric conductivity, pH, anion, as well as e...

This work was conducted in a tropical montane cloud forest in south Ecuador. For three years, water-chemical, hydrological and biological parameters were measured and compared between land-uses. Pasture streams showed higher concentrations of base cations, probably resulting from deforestation and burning of the forest. Another factor influencing t...
The coexistence of closely related species is often hampered by resource competition or reproductive interference (interspecific sexual interactions). Species utilising similar signal channels might face substantial problems when they co-occur. It has, therefore, been suggested that reinforcement might drive signal evolution in narrow suture zones...
1. As species are often considered discrete natural units, interspecific sexual interactions are often disregarded as potential factors determining community composition. Nevertheless reproductive interference, ranging from signal jamming to hybridization, can have significant costs for species sharing similar signal channels. 2. We combined labora...
A nest of Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) was videotaped in southwestern Ecuador during 226 daylight hours from 3-4 days after laying the single egg, until hatching of the nestling. The nest and egg were similar to other reports from northwestern Ecuador. Incubation was carried out by the female only and lasted 27-28 days. Dail...
