Wunderwerk Erde
Woraus besteht unsere Erde, und wie funktioniert sie? Geowissenschaftler Dr. Christian Klepp ist schon lange fasziniert von der Beschaffenheit und den Funktionsweisen unseres Planeten. In seinem Buch "Wunderwerk Erde" nimmt uns der Klimaforscher und Landschaftsfotograf mit auf eine spektakuläre Reise an entlegene Orte, die vom ständigen Wandel der Erde – in ihrem Inneren und Äußeren – erzählen. Die Gesteine sind das Gedächtnis dieser ständigen Veränderungen. Ihre Geschichten zu entschlüsseln, ist eines der spannendsten Abenteuer und verdeutlicht uns sogar das Problem der menschgemachten Klimakrise. Mit einer Mischung aus Wissen und persönlichen Erlebnissen, dokumentiert mit sei...
Satellite Precipitation Measurement
This book offers a complete overview of the measurement of precipitation from space, which has made considerable advancements during the last two decades. This is mainly due to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, CloudSat and a carefully maintained constellation of satellites hosting passive microwave sensors. The book revisits a previous book, Measuring Precipitation from Space, edited by V. Levizzani, P. Bauer and F. J. Turk, published with Springer in 2007. The current content has been completely renewed to incorporate the advancements of science and technology in the field since then. This book provides unique contributions from field experts and from the International Precipitation Working Group (IPWG). The book will be of interest to meteorologists, hydrologists, climatologists, water management authorities, students at various levels and many other parties interested in making use of satellite precipitation data sets.

Remote Sensing of Precipitation
Precipitation is a well-recognized pillar in global water and energy balances. An accurate and timely understanding of its characteristics at the global, regional, and local scales is indispensable for a clearer understanding of the mechanisms underlying the Earth’s atmosphere–ocean complex system. Precipitation is one of the elements that is documented to be greatly affected by climate change. In its various forms, precipitation comprises a primary source of freshwater, which is vital for the sustainability of almost all human activities. Its socio-economic significance is fundamental in managing this natural resource effectively, in applications ranging from irrigation to industrial and household usage. Remote sensing of precipitation is pursued through a broad spectrum of continuously enriched and upgraded instrumentation, embracing sensors which can be ground-based (e.g., weather radars), satellite-borne (e.g., passive or active space-borne sensors), underwater (e.g., hydrophones), aerial, or ship-borne.
Looting or Missioning
Until now insular and continental material, mostly metal-work, found in pagan Viking Age graves in Norway, has been interpreted as looted material from churches and monasteries on the British Isles and the Continent. The raiding Vikings brought these objects back to their homeland where they were often broken up and used as jewellery or got alternative functions. Looting or Missioning looks at the use and functions of these sacred objects in their original Christian contexts. Based on such an analysis the author proposes an alternative interpretation of these objects: they were brought by Christian missionaries from different parts of the British Isles and the Continent to Norway. The object...
Wunderwerk Natur
Die Schönheit der Natur entdecken und bewahren – das neue Buch von SPIEGEL Bestseller-Autor Christian Klepp. Der Klimawandel verändert unsere Natur. Wir müssen diese Bedrohung ernst nehmen und alles tun, um sie zu schützen. Denn auch die Menschen sind ein Teil von ihr, unser Fortbestand hängt davon ab, wie gesund und widerstandsfähig unsere Natur ist. Die Einzigartikeit unseres Planeten fängt der Geowissenschaftler Dr. Christian Klepp in seinen beeindruckenden Fotos ein. Er nimmt uns mit auf seine Reisen in die entlegensten Winkel der Erde, wo er Zeuge ihrer Schönheit, aber auch ihres Verfalls wird. Er fordert uns fundiert und bewegend dazu auf, dem Klimawandel mutig entgegenzutret...
