Classifying disequilibrium of small mountain glaciers from patterns of surface elevation change distributions
No full textThe overall trend of rapid retreat of Alpine glaciers contains considerable variability of responses at the scale of individual glaciers. As a step towards a regional assessment of glacier state that allows a detailed differentiation of single glaciers, we explore the potential of a self-organizing maps (SOM) algorithm to identify and cluster recurring patterns of thickness change at glaciers in western Austria. Using digital elevation models and glacier inventories for three time periods, we compute the frequency distribution of surface elevation change over the area of each glacier in the data set, for each period. The results of the SOM clustering show a distinct pattern shift over time: From 1969 to 1997, surface elevation change occurred at relatively uniform rates across a given glacier. Since 1997, the distribution of surface elevation change at individual glaciers has been far less uniform, indicating accelerated processes of disintegration. Tracking the evolution of individual glaciers throughout the time periods via the clusters highlights both the broader regional trend as well as glaciers that deviate from this trend, e.g. some very small, high elevation glaciers that have reverted to reduced and more uniform volume loss patterns
Global Reconstruction of Educational Attainment, 1950 to 2015: Methodology and Assessment - Annex tables and data documentation
No full textThis paper documents the rationale, the data and the methodology for reconstructing the population of 185 countries by levels of educational attainment for the period 1950–2015, by age and sex. The reconstruction uses four main input types for each country: (1) The most recent and reliable education structure by age and sex, (2) any reliable historical education data by age and sex to use as marker points in the reconstruction to increase output accuracy, (3) a set of age- and sex-specific mortality differentials and education transition by education and (4) population estimates by age and sex. The methodology relies on the fact that education is acquired at young ages and does not change much over the life course. In the first part we present the reconstruction principle. In the second one, we document the methodology and the data. The third section compares the reconstructed estimates to other existing estimates including the past reconstruction effort of the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Human Capital. The data are available at: www.wittgensteincentre.org/dataexplorer (version 2.0).

No full textThe Dermatological Moulage offers a unique potential for the processing of medical andscientific historical questions. Created more than 120 years ago as lifelike, three-dimensionalwax replicas, they provide us with an incomparably vivid view of historical disease findings.The exact observation and description of a skin change is then as now an important part of aclinical examination. The moulage ultimately illustrates a dermatological description. Thesymptoms were recorded with such accuracy that even today a diagnosis can often be madesimply by looking at them. This project is dedicated to the question which changes the dermatologicaldescription of findings has undergone since the beginning of the 20th century. Historicaldescriptions of wax moulages from the Würzburg moulage collection in Karl Zieler’s“Atlas der Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten” published in 1942 serve as a basis
