Charakterisierung und Modellierung von Multi-Kompartment Karst Systemen mittels integrierter Interpretation von Quellsignalen - iKarst
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The iKarst project was designed to reduce the non-uniqueness of characterization by integrated interpretation of spring signals and enhance modelling techniques of karst systems. The project was undertaken by a joint research group of the Institute of Groundwater Management at Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the Department of Applied Geology in University of Göttingen (UGOE). Moreover, several researchers from the European, Asian, and North American continents have contributed in the project as non-paid cooperation partners and/or co-authors in peer-reviewed journals. This report refers to the funding period between December 2019 and May 2023. A postdoctoral researcher and one doctoral student were employed in the project by the TUD and UGOE partners, respectively. The PhD student from UGOE is supposed to defend his dissertation by February 2025. The project targeted further educational goals by supervision of five MSc students, two BSc students, one WHK (for a recently graduated PhD), and two MSc study projects. Moreover, two graduated PhD students from abroad (Iran and China) cooperated in the project. It should be mentioned that in the initial plan the PhD student was intended to hire in TUD, while the postdoctoral researcher was considered at UGOE. However, due to the unavailability of the candidate researchers (i.e., Dr. Markus Giese and MSc. Christian Engelmann) by the project approval time, the planned positions have altered without changing in the financial section. In addition to the funding in the frame of the iKarst project, the TUD partner acquired two Funds for Student Research (FOSTER, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free State of Saxony), for two recently graduated MSc students, whose theses were supervised in the frame of project. Moreover, the Forschungspool from TUD was earned to write an individual research proposal for DFG, by the postdoctoral employee at TUD. Thus far, the research group generated nine scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and one USGS Report of Techniques and Methods. Moreover, two additional peer-reviewed manuscripts are currently in submission process and one is in preparation. Furthermore, 17 conference contributions, including 15 oral presentations in international conferences (presented either in presence or online mode, involving one presentation as an invited speaker), one oral presentation in a national conference, and one poster presentation in international conference were emerged from the project (see section 2 for the list of scientific contribution of the project).
