Yesterday's Collections as Potentials for the Future

The research of material cultural objects holds an infinite variety of questions issues/topics that often arise in the course of dealing with objects. Provenance, production context, acquisition and use contexts of objects offer entry points into understanding past cultural practices. This lecture will focus on the conditions that must be fulfilled in order to be able to study collections in the first place. Using "accessibility" and "usability" as guiding concepts, the expectations and demands on collections by current researchers will also be addressed.

"Satellite observations of soil moisture and vegetation for improved Earth system modelling"

Satellite observations of the land surface provide valuable insights into the distribution of water in space and time and its interaction with ecosystem dynamics. In Earth system models, these interactions are often poorly represented, which can lead to considerable uncertainties in forecasts of moisture fluxes at multiple time scales. In this presentation, I will give an overview of the various climate data records produced by our team and examples of how they have been used to improve Earth system modelling. This includes model benchmarking, model calibration, data assimilation, and the use of machine learning to disentangle multi-variate controls on vegetation dynamics and to make data-driven forecasts.
