A few topics for a Master thesis in Hydrology

After the series about Meledrio I thought that each one of the post actually identifies at least one Thesis topic:

Actually, each one of them could be material for more than one Thesis, depending the direction we want to take. All the Theses topics assume that JGrass-NewAGE is the tool used for investigations.
Actually there are some spinoff of those topics:
  • Using machine learning to set part of model inputs and/or 
  • Doing hydrological modeling with machine learning
  • Preprocessing and treating (via Python or Java) satellite data as input of JGrass-NewAGE (a systematisation of some work made by Wuletawu Abera on Posina cacthment and/or Blue Nile)
  • Implementation of the new version of JGrass-NewAGE on val di Sole
  • Using satellite data, besides geometric features, to extract river networks
  • Snow models intercomparison (GEOtop and those in JGrass-NewAGE, with reference to work done by Stefano Tasin and Gabriele Massera) 
Other to other Hydrological topics:
  • Mars (also here) and planetary Hydrology (with GEOtop or some of its evolutions which account for different temperature ranges and other fluid fluxes)
  • Copying with Evapotranspiration and irrigation at various scales
  • Copying the carbon cycle to the hydrological cycle (either in GEOtop or in JGrass-NewAGE)
Other possible topics regarding water management:
  • Hypothesis on the management of reservoir for optimal water management in river Adige.
  • Managing Urban Waters Complexity
Other possible topics regards, on a more theoretical (mathematical-physical) side:
On the side of informatics:
For who wants to work with us on the Master thesis, the rules to follow are those for Ph.D. students, even if to a minor extent. See here:
