ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Langzeitbeobachtungsstudien zur Landschaftsdynamik inSahelländern stehen generell einem defizitären Angebot anquantitativen Rauminformationen gegenüber. Der in Malivorgefundene lokal- bis regionalräumliche Datenmangelführte zu einer methodologischen Studie, die die Entwicklungvon Verfahren zur multi-temporalen Erfassung und Analyse vonLandschaftsveränderungsdaten beinhaltet. Für den RaumWestafrika existiert in großer Flächenüberdeckunghistorisches Fernerkundungsmaterial in Form hochauflösenderLuftbilder ab den 50er Jahren und erste erdbeobachtendeSatellitendaten von Landsat-MSS ab den 70er Jahren.Multitemporale Langzeitanalysen verlangen zur digitalenReproduzierbarkeit, zur Datenvergleich- undObjekterfaßbarkeit die a priori-Betrachtung derDatenbeschaffenheit und -qualität. Zwei, ohne verfügbare, noch rekonstruierbareBodenkontrolldaten entwickelte Methodenansätze zeigen nichtnur die Möglichkeiten, sondern auch die Grenzen eindeutigerradiometrischer und morphometrischerBildinformationsgewinnung. Innerhalb desÜberschwemmungsgunstraums des Nigerbinnendeltas im ZentrumMalis stellen sich zwei Teilstudien zur Extraktion vonquantitativen Sahelvegetationsdaten den radiometrischen undatmosphärischen Problemen:1. Präprozessierende Homogenisierung von multitemporalenMSS-Archivdaten mit Simulationen zur Wirksamkeitatmosphärischer und sensorbedingter Effekte2. Entwicklung einer Methode zur semi-automatischenErfassung und Quantifizierung der Dynamik derGehölzbedeckungsdichte auf panchromatischenArchiv-Luftbildern Die erste Teilstudie stellt historischeLandsat-MSS-Satellitenbilddaten für multi-temporale Analysender Landschaftsdynamik als unbrauchbar heraus. In derzweiten Teilstudie wird der eigens, mittelsmorphomathematischer Filteroperationen für die automatischeMusterkennung und Quantifizierung von Sahelgehölzobjektenentwickelte Methodenansatz präsentiert. Abschließend wird die Forderung nach kosten- undzeiteffizienten Methodenstandards hinsichtlich ihrerRepräsentativität für die Langzeitbeobachtung desRessourceninventars semi-arider Räume sowie deroperationellen Transferierbarkeit auf Datenmaterial modernerFernerkundungssensoren diskutiert.

Development of empirical potentials for amorphous silica Amorphous silica (SiO2) is of great importance in geoscience and mineralogy as well as a raw material in glass industry. Its structure is characterized as a disordered continuous network of SiO4 tetrahedra. Many efforts have been undertaken to understand the microscopic properties of silica by classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In this method the interatomic interactions are modeled by an effective potential that does not take explicitely into account the electronic degrees of freedom. In this work, we propose a new methodology to parameterize such a potential for silica using ab initio simulations, namely Car-Parrinello (CP) method [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2471 (1985)]. The new potential proposed is compared to the BKS potential [Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 1955 (1990)] that is considered as the benchmark potential for silica. First, CP simulations have been performed on a liquid silica sample at 3600 K. The structural features so obtained have been compared to the ones predicted by the classical BKS potential. Regarding the bond lengths the BKS tends to underestimate the Si-O bond whereas the Si-Si bond is overestimated. The inter-tetrahedral angular distribution functions are also not well described by the BKS potential. The corresponding mean value of theSiOSi angle is found to be ≃ 147◦, while the CP yields to aSiOSi angle centered around 135◦. Our aim is to fit a classical Born-Mayer/Coulomb pair potential using ab initio calculations. To this end, we use the force-matching method proposed by Ercolessi and Adams [Europhys. Lett. 26, 583 (1994)]. The CP configurations and their corresponding interatomic forces have been considered for a least square fitting procedure. The classical MD simulations with the resulting potential have lead to a structure that is very different from the CP one. Therefore, a different fitting criterion based on the CP partial pair correlation functions was applied. Using this approach the resulting potential shows a better agreement with the CP data than the BKS ones: pair correlation functions, angular distribution functions, structure factors, density of states and pressure/density were improved. At low temperature, the diffusion coefficients appear to be three times higher than those predicted by the BKS model, however showing a similar temperature dependence. Calculations have also been carried out on crystalline samples in order to check the transferability of the potential. The equilibrium geometry as well as the elastic constants of α-quartz at 0 K are well described by our new potential although the crystalline phases have not been considered for the parameterization. We have developed a new potential for silica which represents an improvement over the pair potentials class proposed so far. Furthermore, the fitting methodology that has been developed in this work can be applied to other network forming systems such as germania as well as mixtures of SiO2 with other oxides (e.g. Al2O3, K2O, Na2O).
