Research interests
The title of my PhD thesis is Deep-time synthetic data cubes to enable long-term hydrological modelling – Data hindcast for hydrological modelling of a large semiarid catchment. During my work I will use hydrological modelling to study the long-term effects of climate change on various hydrological processes. The study area is the Volta River Basin in West Africa. Remote sensed data is scarce before year 2000, especially in this region, I will thus work on generating synthetic satellite images from 1950 until 2000 derived from the available catalog to increase data availability. The derived products wil then be fed to a fully distributed hydrological model to assess their validity. This approach will allow for better informed hydrological models and in turn a better understanding of the hydrological processes and their evolution in the context of climate change.
Key words: Hydro-climatic modelling, synthetic satellite imagery generation, spatial analysis, remote sensing
