Content

This course goes above and beyond the introductory and mid-level hydrological courses. It covers recent developments and advances in the field of hydrology and integrated water resources management. The focus will be on new mesurement techniques (ground based and from space) and modelling tools (incl. artificial intelligence).

Short introductions will be provided by the lecturers on selected topics and based on the individual interests of registered M.Sc. and PhD students, participants will chose one topic from a pool of research themes to study in detail, present and discuss them in class and/or write a term paper.
