He received his Dr. rer. nat. from the University of Bremen (2009), where he also recently submitted his postdoctoral habilitation thesis. His research focuses on experimentally investigating and computationally modeling various capabilities of cognitive agents such as spatial reasoning, spatial language use, creativity, associative learning, embodied cognition, and the structure and processes of long‐term and working memory. He is also interested in analyzing existing and developing new methods for computational modeling as well as in the question of how information gained from computational models can be utilized to improve human‐computer interaction. Concerning the latter, recent work comprises both model‐ based assistance of medical surgery and model‐based development of computer game players. Schultheis has published more than 40 peer‐reviewed articles in journals, books, and conferences, has organized various symposia and workshops related to his research topics, has served on the organizing committees of the CogSci 2012 and 2013 conferences as well as the KogWis 2016, has held an adjunct professorship at the University of Notre Dame (Psychology) as well as a teaching appointment at the University of Weimar (Cognitive Systems). Schultheis was Associate Junior Fellow at the Hanse Institute for Advanced Studies and PI in the Collaborative Research Center SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition at the University of Bremen. He is senior researcher at the Bremen Spatial Cognition Center and subproject leader of the Creative Unit Intra‐Operative Information. .

We present results of numerical modeling and July paleo temperatures based on identified land snail assemblages from loess sequences. Those two approaches are, moreover, compared with more widely used proxy data for loess sections, such as environmental magnetism, grain size, and geochemical indices. The results show that the July malacopaleothermometer provides relatively high July temperatures comparable to present day conditions, indicating consistently higher summer air temperatures than reconstructions based on numerical modeling experiments for the LGM in the Southeastern Carpathian Basin. Numerical modeling experiments related to six different models used in this study show 6.2 °C to 2.5 °C colder July air temperatures than recently measured equivalent temperatures.

    text TANGR2015 Heidelberg Second international workshop on Tracer Applications of Noble Gas Radionuclides in the Geosciences Heidelberg University, March 26 - 29, 2015 Kirchhoff-Institute Institute for Physics of Environmental Physics 1 Preface TANGR2015 is a workshop on the progress in the technique and application of Atom Trap Trace Analyis (ATTA). It is a follow-up to the rst TANGR workshop, TANGR2012, which was held at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, USA, in June 2012. It is organized in response to recent technical advances and new applications of Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA), an analytical method for measuring the isotopes 81Kr, 85Kr, and 39Ar. The primary aim of the workshop is to discuss the technical progress of ATTA and thereby enable innovative and timely applications of the noble gas radionuclides to important scientic problems in earth and environmental sciences, e.g. in the elds of groundwater hydrology, glaciology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology.

  • Welcome to Saarbrücken MESSAGE from the TEAM
    Welcome to Saarbrücken MESSAGE FROM THE TEAM Dear student, This booklet, like everything we do, is to make you feel welcome in the beautiful small city of Saarbrücken. When we - almost all of us - did an Erasmus, we needed help from experienced students and wanted friends who felt as new as we did. When we returned to Germany, we wanted to keep up the international spirit and give back what we experienced abroad. We consist of both German and international students who help you step into the rich, new culture with people who enjoy embracing and sharing their roots. We have a wide range of goals to make your stay unforgettable: We aim to help you build a strong social network, make friends from all over the world as well as different fields of studies etc. We want to create an international environment of exchanging backgrounds by bringing together local and international students. We work together to host a wide range of events. From classy evenings discussing the problems of the world to a wild night in Saarbrooklyn which will mature over time from a bad decision to a great story. We are here to help you with all your questions. Feel free to talk to us when you run into one of us on campus. We were founded in April, 2019 as the International Student Association (ISA) Saarbrücken. Since June, 2020, we are officially an ESN section. Right now, we are a group of 30 volunteers to help the students. We are looking forward to meeting you.
