  • Baumann Cave
    Landmark 13 Baumann Cave ® On the 17th of November, 2015, during the 38th UNESCO General Assembly, the 195 member states of the United Nations resolved to introduce a new title. As a result, Geoparks can be distinguished as UNESCO Global Geoparks. Among the fi rst 120 UNESCO Global Geoparks, spread throughout 33 countries around the world, is Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen. UNESCO-Geoparks are clearly defi ned, unique areas, in which locations and landscapes of international geological importance are found. They are operated by organisations which, with the involvement of the local population, campaign for the protection of geological heritage, for environmental education and for sustainable regional development. 22 Königslutter 28 ® 1 cm = 16,15 miles 20 Oschersleben 27 18 14 Goslar Halberstadt 3 2 8 1 Quedlinburg 4 Osterode a.H. 9 11 5 133 15 16 6 10 17 19 7 Sangerhausen NordhausenN 12 21 As early as 2004, 25 Geoparks in Europe and China had founded the Global Geoparks Network (GGN). In autumn of that year Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen became part of the network. In addition, there are various regional networks, among them the European Geoparks Network (EGN). These coordinate international cooperation.

Stalactite Caves 1 Baumann Cave, Hermann Cave The Baumann Cave is known as the oldest visitors’ caves in Germany. Visitations were carried out here already in 1649. Even JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE (1749 – 1832) admired the beauty of the “Baumannshöhle” and is said to have visited it three times.

Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Ralf Merz 2. Gutachterin: PD Dr. Christine Stumpp Tag der Verteidigung: 25. Juni 2018 Für meine Familie Foreword This thesis is a cumulative dissertation which includes three accepted publications. The general task of this project was developed at the Department Catchment Hydrology from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Halle (Saale). Previous works which also use stable and radioactive isotopes as environmental tracers to recognize matter and solute fluxes as well as turn-over processes were conducted in much smaller river catchments or for totally different topics (e.g. development and chemistry of open-cast mine lakes). With this project, we would like to test the applicability of stable isotopes on meso- to large-scale river catchments on a regional catchment scale. An excellent investigation area was the TERrestrial ENvironmental Observatory (TERENO) in Central Germany. The Bode Rie athet is a plagoud fo eseah etres within the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres. This made it possible to use existing knowledge and (further) develop cooperation. The main part of the work which included field work, laboratory work and interpretation of the results were achieved at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Halle (Saale). Important cooperation partners were other departments at the UFZ like the Department of Computational Hydrosystems, Department of River Ecology, Department of Hydrogeology and the Department of Aquatic Ecosystem Analysis.

While it is not always clear, which influences the other more, they are virtually inseparable. if we think about famous developments such as the printing press, steam engine, space travel or efforts to produce electric- ity from sun and wind, we see that new technologies always unleash potentials. they stimulate the imagination and allow us to look toward new horizons. nonetheless, they also give rise to new challenges and issues which we have to deal with in turn. it is the job of researchers and engineers to provide answers. “innovation on demand” we could say. this is also what sets institutes of the fraunhofer-gesellschaft apart. they are en- gines of innovation and expediters of technological develop- ment. When, in the wake of german reunification over twenty years ago, the initiative to establish an independent fraunhofer in- stitute took form here in Magdeburg, a new age was dawn- ing, and not just for germany. in this period charged with conflicts, the new german states experienced a political and economic transformation of vast magnitude. in the midst of this volatile situation with an economy in the throes of recon- struction, we nonetheless succeeded in officially announcing the founding of an independent fraunhofer institution for factory operation and operation in Magdeburg on January 1, 1992.
