   Abstract : In the light of the increased frequency of natural hazards in Europe alongside the high impact a hazardous event has on real estate value, real estate owners need to manage and strengthen assets within their entire portfolio to increase resilience and minimize the vulnerability to future negative impact. Further, a research gap exists in how to incorporate climate variables with real estate specifics which makes it challenging for property managers and other stakeholders to interpret the climatic impact on a particular asset.

4. 23. Elemental variability in tree-rings as indicator for climate change : a case study on beech and oak trees at the Laacher See, Germany

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to contribute to the comprehension of the connection of element uptake in trees at the Laacher See in Germany and climatic parameters on different time scales. Understanding the relationship of certain elements in trees and temperature might enable the assignment of extraordinary high peaks in the elemental concentration, which cannot be explained by temperature, to another process as CO2 degassing of the mofettes, which are relics of the volcanic past of the lake.
