Regular participation in laboratory comparison tests ensure the efficiency of our laboratory and guarantee the correctness of our analysis results.

How strong is global warming today and how will it develop in the future? How does it affect the Alpine region, Austria and Styria, for example in relation to extreme weather and climate? A particularly suitable method for a global perspective in answering such questions is the occultation technique using signals from global navigation satellites (GPS, Galileo) or Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The group is one of the international leaders in investigation and exploitation of these signals. In the specific habitat of the Alpine region, the WegenerNet is a pioneering experiment by the group: A novel network of climate stations in the Feldbach and Johnsbachtal regions (Styria\/Aust.) for observation of weather and climate to a spatial resolution scale of 1 km. Satellite data and ground data are used together with climate model simulation to study climate variability, climate trends, as well as extremes of weather and climate. The focus is on global climate change and developing linkages to regional and local climate and environmental change in the Alpine region. ARSCliSys cooperates closely with the Regional Climate and ClimEMet working groups in key joint research on hydrological extremes in climate change. The group also works closely with the Department of Geophysics, Astrophysics and Meteorology\/Institute of Physics ((IGAM\/IP), partner institute of the Wegener Center at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and is a participant in the Atmospheric and Climate Physics working group of the IGAM\/IP.

A better understanding of future changes in the distribution\/intensity of precipitation, as well as vegetation and land use (especially with regard to plant\/plant water requirements) is therefore essential for improved forecasting of hydrological processes, such as groundwater recharge, flooding, etc. The availability of groundwater resources does not just depend on the replenishment rate, but also on the management of water resources and thus on socio-economic changes (e.g., increased water demand due to a change from rain-fed to irrigated agriculture). In addition, these changes represent important challenges for ecosystems dependent on groundwater, which can only be recorded in an interdisciplinary manner. Research into hydrology therefore makes an important contribution to a better understanding of the ecological, but also economic changes caused by climate change. <\/div><\/td><td><a href=\"mailto:steffen.birk@uni-graz.at\">Univ.-Prof. Dr.rer.nat.

This requires a combination of varying expertise and methodologies. A particular aspect of emphasis, is imparting knowledge and skills to trainees at various levels.\n\nAlthough mountain regions only make up about a quarter of the land area, they affect a large part of the earth. From a climatological perspective, they modulate atmospheric circulation, radiation and water balance and are therefore sensitive indicators of changes in the climate system against various scales. In order to deepen our knowledge of the specifics of climate in cold regions (high mountains and polar regions), we combine in situ measurements with modern modelling approaches. This enables us to identify and quantify drivers, processes and impacts of climate change in mountain regions. The goal is thus to contribute to an improved understanding of global climate change.    <\/div><\/td><td><a href=\"mailto: \twolfgang.schoener@uni-graz.at\">Univ.-Prof. Dr.rer.nat.

These must be scalable in order to achieve an appropriate environmental impact. This requires work on direct translation from laboratory to the industrial scale. To achieve this, it is imperative that safe, robust and cost-effective processes are developed, from the earliest design phase, by bringing together ideas from green chemistry and green engineering. Continuous flow processing is specifically designed to address these needs: A wide variety of processes can maximise efficiency\u2014whether this is in mass, energy, space, and time\u2014through improved heat and mass transfer, precise dwell time control, shorter process times, better product quality, reduced footprint, or simple scalability. The contributions of the Kappe Group include the development of continuous processes for the production of a wide range of chemicals with special attention given to sustainability and environmental impact.\n\nResearch in the Barta Group focuses on sustainability and green chemistry with a special focus on the conversion of renewable raw materials and catalysis with earth-based metals.  \n1.)

The emphasis is on minimisation of the fire risk and potential for utilisation of the raw materials.  \nMineral waste, especially from industry, is characterised using mineralogical waste methods, the mobility of pollutants is modelled and assessed, and recycling solutions for specific material flows are developed. \nTechnologies for remediation of contaminated sites and landfill mining are being developed in order to make use of the future potential in secondary raw materials.  <\/div><\/td><td><a href=\"mailto:roland.pomberger@unileoben.ac.at\">Roland Pomberger<\/a><br>Tel.:+43 3842 402
