Regenerative Energie
Our work aims at the geophysical characterization of a landfill associated to an industrial chemical plant. The landfill is fully enclosed by a non-permeable liner around all boundaries (consisting of PVC and clay layers). The last waste deposals took place in the 1970’s, yet recent events suggest possible leakage of contaminants. Hence, it is necessary to identify failures of the liner and leaking of leachates.
Geophysical electrical methods are standard tools to investigate landfills. However, those methods require galvanic contact between electrodes and the ground, impeding their application in landfills covered by a non-permeable liner that does not allow current injection. To overcome this limitation, we propose the use of transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings as virtual boreholes, resolving for the vertical changes of electrical conductivity, to quantify variations in porosity, saturation, waste composition and fluid electrical conductivity. TEM soundings can be collected in a few minutes and permit us to explore large areas in a few hours. We present investigations in an industrial landfill (ca. 500 m x 200 m and 20 m deep) sealed by a non-permeable liner, where 100 soundings were collected in one day. Our results demonstrate the capability of the TEM method to efficiently delineate the landfill geometry, internal structure, waste composition and the geometry of the aquifer located ca. 20 m below the waste unit. Moreover, our results identified damage in the non-permeable liner below the landfill, which may act as a pathway for the migration of leachate.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
