Monitoring, modelling of processes and data
Speaker: Olaf Kolditz (UFZ/TUD), Hans-Gerd Maas (TUD), Peter Dietrich (UFZ), Lars Bernard (TUD)
Thematic field 4 at the Center for Advanced Water Research encompasses extensive know-how on intelligent combinations of monitoring procedures as well as process and data modeling.
The competences in this field comprise:
- Monitoring and acquisition
- Data management
- Exploration
- Data integration
- Process modeling
- Analysis and Synthesis
- Model coupling as well as
- Development, testing and adaptation of model systems.
As a cross-sectional field, the thematic field „monitoring, process and data modelling“ extends into all research areas at the Center for Advanced Water Research.
