- Konferenzbeitrag3D Visualisation of continuous, multidimensional, meteorological Satellite Data(Proceedings of the 28th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2014) Lutz, RichardTen years of earth observation by the MIPAS instrument aboard the European environmental satellite Envisat [1] led to a considerable amount of measurement and processed data, which has to be managed and visualized by powerful and flexible software tools. This paper gives an overview about new concepts, tools and methods for the 3D visualisation of continuous, multidimensional, meteorological Satellite Data, which are realised with WISA (Wissenschaftliches Informationssystem für die Atmosphärenforschung – Scientific Information System for atmospheric Research). A major goal of the visualisation is the recognition of correlations between different trace gas concentrations (e.g. ozone, chlorine nitrate, chlorofluorocarbons, etc.) and the visualisation of trace gas distributions where the main focus was laid on the polar areas.
- Konferenzbeitrag3D-Grundwasseranalyse von Bauvorhaben mittels GeoPro3D(Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Hilbring, DésiréeGeoPro is a 3D GIS application for visualising the ground water table and hydrogeological profiles in designated regions for construction sites. The term construction sites comprises single as well as groups of buildings for urban planning and routes for regional planning. GeoPro3D is a tool to detect conflicts between construction sites and the ground water table. To achieve this the user can view and analyse the entire planning situation or interesting parts of the scene in a three dimensional virtual world embedded in a Geographic Information System.
- Konferenzbeitrag40 Gbps Access for Metro networks: Implications in terms of Sustainability and Innovation from an LCA Perspective(EnviroInfo & ICT4S, Conference Proceedings, 2015) Moghaddam, Reza Farrahi; Lemieux, Yves; Cheriet, MohamedIn this work, the implications of new technologies, more specifically the new optical FTTH technologies, are studied both from the functional and non-functional perspectives. In particular, some direct impacts are listed in the form of abandoning non-functional technologies, such as micro-registration, which would be implicitly required for having a functioning operation before arrival the new high-bandwidth access technologies. It is shown that such abandonment of non-functional best practices, which are mainly at the management level of ICT, immediately results in additional consumption and environmental footprint, and also there is a chance that some other new innovations might be missed. Therefore, unconstrained deployment of these access technologies is not aligned with a possible sustainable ICT picture, except if they are regulated. An approach to pricing the best practices, including both functional and non-functional technologies, is proposed in order to develop a regulation and policy framework for a sustainable broadband access
- KonferenzbeitragA Bayesian Approach to Estimation of Metal Flows in Waste Streams(Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Löfving, Erik; Grimvall, AndersMetal contents in waste are normally presented without any measures of uncertainty, and, if such measures are given, they are normally based on subjective judgements. Moreover, it is difficult to analyse existing data sets by employing traditional statistical procedures. The number of analysed samples can be very small and the sampling strategy is often unknown. Outliers are common and it is not unusual that the standard deviation is larger than the mean. In this paper, we propose a method that combines subjective judgement of uncertainty with actual observations to establish uncertainty bounds. The Bayesian statistical framework is used to set up a probability model that reflects our scientific problem, and this provides a theoretical basis for the inference problem.
- KonferenzbeitragA benchmarking methodology to identify fair contributions of different regions to the energy transition(Environmental Infomatics - Stability, Continuity, Innovation: Current trends and future perspectives based on 30 years of history, 2016) Wind, Günter; Schriefl, Ernst; Lunzer, Horst; Busswald, Petra; Niederl, Franz
- KonferenzbeitragA Case Study on an Automated Generation of Environmental Reports(The Information Society and Enlargement of the European Union, 2003) Marx-Gómez, Jorge; Rautenstrauch, Claus; Isenmann, RalfDie unterschiedlichen Dokumente, die im Rahmen einer Umweltberichterstattung von Unternehmen erstellt werden, basieren auf ähnlichen und teilweise überlappenden Informationen. Oft können die für ein bestimmtes Umweltdokument zusammengetragenen Informationen allerdings nicht oder nur mit großem Aufwand für andere Zielsetzungen wieder genutzt werden. Die in den Dokumenten enthaltenen Umweltdaten müssen regelmäßig (z. B. entsprechend dem Berichtszeitraum) aktualisiert werden. Eine rechnergestützte und zumindest teilweise automatisierte Berichterstattung erscheint daher sinnvoll. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz zur teilweise automatisierten Umweltberichterstattung vorgestellt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei in der automatischen Überführung von Ökobilanzdaten in eine XML-Form und der Integration in einen Umweltbericht. Dies wird am Beispiel des Softwaretools Umberto illustriert.
- KonferenzbeitragA Cellular Automata Model for Flow-like Landslides with Numerical Simulations of Subaerial and Subaqueous Cases(Environmental Informatics and Industrial Environmental Protection: Concepts, Methods and Tools, 2009) Avolio, Maria Vittoria; Lupiano, Valeria; Mazzanti, Paolo; Di Gregorio, SalvatoreNumerical modelling is a major challenge in the prevention of risks related to the occurrence of subaerial and subaqueous landslides. SCIDDICA-SS2 and SCIDDICA-SS2blocks are Macroscopic Cellular Automata models, developed for the simulations of combined subaerial-subaqueous flow-like landslides. SCIDDICA-SS2 was firstly validated on the 1997 subaerial subaqueous debris flow at Lake Albano (Rome, Italy). This paper outlines the last version of the model, slightly improved and which was extended in order to simulate landslide characterized by large blocks inside the main landslide debris. The paper presents applications of the model to a completely submarine landslide, occurred between November 2007 and September 2008, in the nearshore of Bagnara Calabra town (Italy) and to the catastrophic M. Pacì rock-avalanche occurred on February 6, 1783 (Scilla, Italy). Simulation results of Bagnara Calabra submarine landslide by SCIDDICA-SS2 show a strong convergence between the real and simulated areas affected by the event. Furthermore, numerical analyses by SCIDDICA-SS2blocks demonstrate the ability of the model to simulate rock avalanches characterized by large blocks.
- KonferenzbeitragA Central Collaborative CEMIS(Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Allam, Nabil; Mahmoud, Tariq; Junker, Horst; Marx Goméz, JorgeThere have been research projects on Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (CEMIS) during the last 20 years. Nowadays we have different CEMIS in the market that provide different approaches and techniques that are solving environmental (-related) issues in companies. However, such environmental information systems are rarely used. In addition, different projects in Asia and USA has been developing and implementing industrial ecology/symbiosis strategy. This strategy has generated new revenues and reduced environmental emissions and disposal costs, while simultaneously improving the quality of services and products. In her investigation, Elke Perl found out that CEMIS are rarely used in the German-speaking region (Perl, 2006). Following her research work, three rationales are mainly responsible for this situation. Collaborative Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (Collaborative CEMIS) provide approaches to conquer the issue of rare use of CEMIS in the German-speaking region and support the efforts of collaborative work to gain the benefits of industrial symbiosis. In Collaborative CEMIS solution, Web Services and semantic techniques are involved. Collaborative CEMIS, been based on Web Services, provides powerful integration of environmental applications and data. Instead of being connected to several disparate environmental applications, Web Services-enabled collaborative CEMIS solution provides a connection point between these heterogeneous applications. This work will present a collaborative CEMIS solution that is mainly relying on the idea of supplying Web Services from one CEMIS that can be used from different company information systems to handle corporate environmental issues. The requirements will be discussed and model will be presented for such a system. The main goals of this solution is reducing the efforts to achieve a legal compliance environmental management and supporting the new perspective on industrial development resembling natural ecosystem to use energy, water, material, and human resources optimally while at the same time minimizing wastes and efforts of environmental management. It proposes an environmental collaboration between companies via summing up all the required information from different involved players in form of Web Services. In this solution, the companies will act as clients and providers at the same time. They are both requesting and supplying environmental data. They maintain their identities by not revealing the information regarding their resource details.
- KonferenzbeitragA Common Reference Model for Environmental Science Research Infrastructures(Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2013) Chen, Yin; Martin, Paul; Magagna, Barbara; Schentz, Herbert; Zhao, Zhiming; Hardisty, Alex; Preece, Alun; Atkinson, Malcolm; Huber, Robert; Legré, YannickIndependent development of research infrastructures leads to unnecessary replication of technologies and solutions whilst the lack of standard definitions makes it difficult to relate experiences in one infrastructure with those of ot hers. The ENVRI Reference Model, www.envri.eu/rm, uses the Open Distributed Processing standard framework in order to model the "archetypical" environmental research infrastructure. The use of the ENVRI -RM to illustrate common characteristics of European ESFRI environmental infrastructures from a number of different perspectives provides a common language for and understanding of environmental research infrastructures, promote technology and solution sharing between infrastructures, and improve interoperability between implemented services .
- KonferenzbeitragA Common Tool for Managing Environmental Monitoring Data(EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Rüther, Maria; Bandholtz, Thomas; Schulte-Coerne, TillThis article gives an overview of a recent project of the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) regarding the management of its data. It describes the user requirements, both from the perspective of the scientists as well as of application management, which have led to the development of a general tool for managing environmental data. Examples demonstrate the flexible structure of the new application and thus give an impression for possible use in other monitoring programs. Thereafter, we examine the German ESB’s open data, which is a part of the Federal Environment Agency’s Linked Open Data initiative.
