Zypern: Mittelmeerinsel und Paradies für ArchäologInnen war Mittelpunkt eines Workshops

Für viele eine traumhafte Urlaubsinsel im Mittelmeer, für andere ein Forschungsgegenstand par excellence: Zypern. An der Universität Graz beschäftigt sich das Institut für Archäologie mit diesem Land und dessen Geschichte und forscht zur antiken Plastik und zur antiken Keramik. Ein Workshop, der am 16. Juni 2016 in Graz stattfand, zog WissenschafterInnen und Zypern-Experten aus ganz Österreich an. Die Vortrags-Themen reichten dabei von antiken Vasen udn Keramik bis hin zu Marmorplastiken und Unterwasserarchäologie.

Peter Scherrer, selbst Leiter des Instituts und auch Vizerektor für Forschung und Nachwuchsförderung an der Uni Graz, sprach in seinen einleitenden Worten die wissenschaftliche Leistung des Insituts "im Schwerpunkt "Zypern" besonders an. Mit dem Montanisten Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Walter Prochaska war ein Experte für Marmor nach Graz gekommen, der über die Vorkommen und Nutzung von Marmor on der Antike referierte. Höhepunkt des Workshops war die Präsentation des neuen Buches "CSIR Österreich IV,3. Die Grabstelen und Grabaltäre des Stadtgebiets von Flavia Solva. Unter der Mitarbeit von Ortlof Harl, Susanne Lamm und Margaretha Pochmarski-Nagele" im Gipsmuseum.

There were nine such institutions in what is now Austria between 1939 and 1945.

Baby health: University of Graz is seeking study participants to investigate early risk factors

Why does the body composition of babies vary so much? Some children gain a significant amount of fat mass within a few weeks, whilst others show hardly any change over the same period. “At the same time, initial observations suggest that fat distribution in all babies may follow a similar pattern, regardless of their total body fat,” explains Marco Höfler from the Institute of Movement Sciences, Sport and Health at the University of Graz. He is coordinating the research project ‘Small Bodies – Big Questions’, for which participants are currently still being sought: pregnant women and babies up to four weeks old.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.
