Topics for Bachelor's and Exam Theses

For Bavaria:

  • Water requirements for agriculture today and in the future
  • Water availability today and in the future
  • Food production today and in the future
  • Food demand today and in the future
  • Energy production today and in the future
  • Energy demand today and in the future
  • Bavarian ecosystem services: what does Bavarian nature offer?

For Germany:

  • Water requirements for agriculture today and in the future
  • Water availability today and in the future
  • Energy demand today and in the future
  • German ecosystem services: what does German nature offer?

The following topics can be addressed for Bavaria, Germany, France, Australia, the USA, Argentina or Brazil:

  • How will the demand for water for the energy sector develop in the future?
  • How will climate change affect energy production? (Focus on biofuel, hydropower, solar, wind or nuclear)

Mediterranean region:

  • Review of Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystem Nexus indicators applied to the Mediterranean region

Other topics from the areas of Water, Food, Energy, Ecosystem Nexus can also be addressed by arrangement.

  • Water supply, water resource security, water and energy management
  • Consequences of climate change in Bavaria and the Alpine region (natural hazards, water management, forestry, energy management, tourism)
  • Monitoring land use change using remote sensing methods (urban areas, industry (e.g. mining, renaturation), agriculture and forestry, etc.)
  • Development and development potential of renewable energies in Bavaria

  • Remote sensing
  • Hyperspectral remote sensing
  • Remote sensing of land use change
  • Region-specific topics (also without remote sensing): Mongolia, Tibet, Atacama, Bavarian Forest
  • Your own topic suggestions are welcome!

  • Remote sensing: e.g. detection of spatial processes (land use change, degradation, urbanization, etc.)
  • Spectroscopy: e.g. application of special hyperspectral techniques (field spectroscopy, airborne, satellite-based)
  • In-situ measurements: e.g. preparation and evaluation of terrain measurement data (plant physiology, soil, water, etc.)
  • Agriculture: e.g. efficiency in the use of operating resources (nutrients, irrigation, soil)
  • Regional focus: Bavaria, Alpine region, Africa
