  • Enhancing Diversity Knowledge Through Marine Citizen Science and Social Platforms: the Case of Hermodice Carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta)
    diversity Article Enhancing Diversity Knowledge through Marine Citizen Science and Social Platforms: The Case of Hermodice carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta) Maja Krželj 1, Carlo Cerrano 2 and Cristina Gioia Di Camillo 2,* 1 University Department of Marine Studies, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia; [email protected] 2 Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche, 60131 Ancona, Italy; c.cerrano@staff.univpm.it * Correspondence: c.dicamillo@staff.univpm.it Received: 16 June 2020; Accepted: 9 August 2020; Published: 12 August 2020 Abstract: The aim of this research is to set a successful strategy for engaging citizen marine scientists and to obtain reliable data on marine species. The case study of this work is the bearded fireworm Hermodice carunculata, a charismatic species spreading from the southern Mediterranean probably in relation to global warming. To achieve research objectives, some emerging technologies (mainly social platforms) were combined with web ecological knowledge (i.e., data, pictures and videos about the target species published on the WWW for non-scientific purposes) and questionnaires, in order to invite people to collect ecological data on the amphinomid worm from the Adriatic Sea and to interact with involved people. In order to address future fruitful citizen science campaigns, strengths and weakness of each used method were illustrated; for example, the importance of informing and thanking involved people by customizing interactions with citizens was highlighted. Moreover, a decisive boost in people engagement may be obtained through sharing the information about citizen science project in online newspapers. Finally, the work provides novel scientific information on the polychete’s distribution, the northernmost occurrence record of H.

  • Die Herkunft Und Bedeutung Des Ortsnamens Regensburg
    Albrecht Greule Die Herkunft und Bedeutung des Ortsnamens Regensburg Regensburg liegt am nördlichsten Punkt der Donau. Die Stadt geht auf eine Gründung der Römer zurück, sie ist heute Hauptstadt des bayerischen Regierungsbezirks Oberpfalz, Sitz der Fürsten von Thurn und Taxis, und hat einen berühmten Dom, in dem die Regensburger Domspatzen singen. Ihr Name hat nichts mit dem Regen, der vom Himmel fällt, zu tun, wie oft spaßhaft angenommen wird, sondern mit dem hier in die Donau mündenden Fluss Regen. Der Name des aus Tschechien kommenden Flusses begegnet bereits anno 819 (Kopie 9. Jahrhundert) in einer Traditionsurkunde in althochdeutscher (altbairischer) Gestalt als Regan . Allerdings scheint Regin , lateinisch Reginus , der einzige und ursprüngliche Name für den Fluss Regen gewesen zu sein, und nicht Regan , worin die erste Anspielung des Fluss- und des Stadtnamens auf das Nass vom Himmel (althochdeutsch regan ) fassbar wird. Auch der Name des am Regen gelegenen Stadtteils Reinhausen (1007 Regin-husen ) enthält die ursprüngliche Form des Flussnamens. Obwohl auf der Bauinschrift für das gewaltige Legionslager, das die Römer an der Regen-Mündung 179 n. Chr. errichteten, kein Name verzeich- net ist, wissen wir, dass der gesamte Siedlungskomplex bei den Römern Regino hieß. Sowohl auf einer spätrömischen Straßenkarte als auch im Itinerar des Kaisers Antoninus, die beide im Kern die Verhältnisse des beginnenden 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wiedergeben, ist Regino (= Regensburg) ein- getragen. Was liegt näher als die Annahme, dass die Römer ihr Legionskastell nach dem Fluss be- nannten, an dessen Mündung in die Donau es errichtet worden war. Regino ist ein lateinischer Ab- lativ (Lokativ), der ‘am Regen’ bedeutet.

  • The Role of Flood Wave Superposition for the Severity of Large Floods
    https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-2019-312 Preprint. Discussion started: 9 July 2019 c Author(s) 2019. CC BY 4.0 License. The role of flood wave superposition for the severity of large floods Björn Guse1, Bruno Merz1,2, Luzie Wietzke1, Sophie Ullrich1, Alberto Viglione3,4, and Sergiy Vorogushyn1 1GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Hydrology Section, Potsdam, Germany 2University of Potsdam, Institute for Environmental Sciences and Geography, Potsdam, Germany 3Vienna University of Technology, Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management, Vienna, Austria 4Politecnico di Torino, Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI), Torino, Italy Correspondence: Björn Guse ([email protected]) Abstract. The severity of floods is shaped not only by event and catchment specific characteristics but also depends on river network configuration. At the confluence of relevant tributaries to the main river, flood event characteristics may change de- pending on magnitude and temporal matching of flood waves. This superposition of flood waves may potentially increase flood severity. However, this aspect is up to now not analysed for a large data set. 5 To fill this gap, the role of flood wave superposition in determining flood severity is investigated. A novel methodological approach to analyse flood wave superposition is presented and applied to mean daily discharge data of 37 triple points from the four large river basins in Germany and Austria (Elbe, Danube, Rhine and Weser). A triple point consists of the three gauges at the tributary as well as upstream and downstream of the confluence to the main river. At the triple points, differences and similarities in flood characteristics are jointly analysed in terms of temporal matching and magnitudes of flood peaks.
