Prof. Dr. Christoph Schneider

Prof. Schneider erforscht die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Stadtklima, Grünflächenmanagement und Klimaresilienz in urbanen Räumen. Sein aktueller Fokus liegt auf der Entwicklung und Anwendung von Stadtklimamodellen (PALM-4U) für praxisgerechte Stadtplanung sowie auf der Quantifizierung von Ökosystemleistungen urbaner Gärten und Parks. Seine Arbeiten liefern Kommunen und Stadtplanern wissenschaftlich fundierte Grundlagen für die Bewertung und Optimierung von Grünstrukturen unter Klimawandelaspekten. Die Forschung ist relevant für Stadtentwicklung, kommunale Infrastrukturplanung und Umweltmanagement.

  Understanding the effects of socio-ecological shocks on land use/land cover (LULC) change is essential for developing land management strategies and for reducing adverse environmental pressures. Our study examines the impacts of the armed conflict in Syria, which began in mid-2011, and the related social and economic crisis on LULC between 2010 and 2018. We used remote sensing for change detection by applying a supervised maximum likelihood classification to Landsat images of the three target years 2010, 2014, and 2018. Based on the computed extent of our LULC classes and accuracy assessment, we calculated area-adjusted estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Our classification achieved an overall accuracy of 86.4%. Compared to 2010, we found an increase in spatial extent for bare areas (40,011 km2), forests (2576 km2), and urban and peri-urban areas (3560 km2), whereas rangelands (37,005 km2) and cultivated areas (9425 km2) decreased by 2018. It is not possible to determine whether the changes in LULC in Syria will be permanent or temporary. Natural conditions such as climate fluctuations had an impact on the uses of the natural environment and cultivated areas during the study period, especially in regions suffering from water stress. Although seasonal precipitation patterns and temperature affect LULC change, however, we could not identify a prevailing climate trend towards more drought-prone conditions. Our analysis focuses on (potential) direct and indirect implications of the Syrian conflict on LULC change, which most notably occurred between 2014 and 2018. Conflict-related main drivers were human activities and demographic changes, which are mainly attributable to large-scale population displacement, military operations, concomitant socio-economic status, and control of local resources. As the study provides quantitative and qualitative information on the dynamics of LULC changes in Syria, it may serve as a framework for further relevant conflict-related research and support planning, management practices, and sustainable development.
