QUADRAT DTP: A sustainable future for Arctic marine shipping using Artificial Intelligence
Arctic warming has led to a dramatic reduction in sea ice coverage. As a result, marine traffic is increasing across the Arctic region and expanding the geographical reach of the Arctic blue economy. Read more
Preparing for bigger floods: Advancing modelling and risk assessment for extreme flood events
Description of the project. The world has seen devastating flood events in the last two years, for example, in Central Europe in 2021 and in Pakistan in 2022. Read more
Computational modelling and risk assessment of heavy rainfall impacts on transport infrastructure
Description of the project. This highly exciting project help to address one of the most challenging engineering problems – adapting to climate change, and help the student to learning highly sought-after skills and knowledge for a wide range of career paths. Read more
Ripple formation under different atmospheric conditions
Aeolian ripples are the common self-organized bedforms formed by wind-blown sand on Earth and some extraterrestrial surfaces. They are characterized by periodical wavy morphology with wavelength (ripple spacing) in a few centimeters and amplitude (ripple height) in a few millimeters. Read more
