Production of Organic Acids for Polyester Synthesis (Project)
The project objective is the development of an efficient process for the obtention of itaconic acid from low-lignin agricultural residues such as citrus processing waste, chaff and glycerol as well as an upgrading of itaconic acid. Itaconic acid is among the most interesting candidates to replace petroleum based monomers in order to synthesize new types of polyesters. Therefore, citrus processing...

Parametrization of physical and chemical properties of liquid biofuels of the 1.5th generation (Project)
The project aims at the modification of biodiesel-based liquid blends with fossil diesel fuel such that these blends can be used in new engine concepts with good results concerning the combustion and the exhaust gas emissions.

Climate change scenario modelling of soil carbon turnover on basis of improved soil carbon pool distribution on a regional scale (Project)
A high resolution representation of regional soil organic C (SOC) fluxes and pools facilitates an improved assessment of impacts of climate change and feedbacks on agro-ecosystems. However, soil organic carbon (SOC) pool partitioning in dynamic SOC models (i.e., DAISY) remains challenging, in particular when considering the driving influence of changing climatic conditions, e.g., by temperature...

SFB 806 A1: Out of Africa – Late Pleistocene Rock Shelter Stratigraphies and Palaeoenvironments in Northeastern Africa (Project)
Regional climatic changes and environmental conditions during the Late Pleistocene play a major role in human adaptive behaviour in Northeast Africa. The focus on the interaction and synchronisation of cultural and climatic processes requires a sound archaeological and palaeoenvironmental database as well as multiple lines of analysis. As the two research areas in Ethiopia and Egypt provide...

SFB 806 A2: Late Quaternary High-Resolution Climate Archives in the Sahara (Project)
Since the occurrence of the Earth’s first hominids in Northern Chad about 7 Ma ago, and particularly during the Late Quaternary, the Sahara has been the inevitable passageway for any migration between tropical Africa and Europe. The continuous varve-like sub bottom sediments of Lake Yoa, Ounianga Kebir (Northeast Chad), represent North Africa’s most detailed climate archive. By extending the data...

SFB 806 A3: Ethiopian lakes – Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in the source region of modern man (Project)
The climatic and environmental context in the source region of the emergence of Modern Man is still poorly known. This project is, in strong cooperation with Henry Lamb (University of Aberystwyth), dedicated to the analysis of limnic sediments in Central and Southern Ethiopia in terms of elucidating the climate history of the last 200,000 years, in order to investigate the conditions which led to...

SFB 806 B2: Climatic and Environmental History of the Balkans During the Last Glacial Cycle (Project)
After leaving the Near East, some groups of Homo sapiens sapiens first arrived about (uncalibrated) 30-32 ka BP ago in the Balkans, as it is proven by human remains found in Romania. However, until now, due to the limitations of the anthropological data, only a patchy reconstruction of the routes into Europe was possible. The environmental context which enabled the first groups of Homo sapiens...

SFB 806 B3: Environmental Response on Climate Impact in the Levant during the Last Glacial and Holocene and their Role in the Origin of Agriculture (Project)
The present proposal, focused on the Levant region, deals with the climatic and environmental framework of the re-establishment and dispersal of human settlement after the second maximum of the last glacial, which directly or indirectly lead to the introduction of a productive economy ('Neolithisation') in the Balkans and Europe. Long-term climatic trends and short-term events are compiled and...
