Objective
Due to increased demands on river basin management, especially concerning legal requirements based on the Water Framework Directive, integrated river basin models have become an essential tool for practical concerns and decision-making. The research group, consisting of the Department Hydrological Modelling and associated members of the Department Soil science, has gained expertise in application of integrated river basin models.
The increased use of such models has made new challenges to integrated modelling:
- River basin research projects are increasingly designed according to the needs of the specific research or decision-making-process and new tools enabling the coupling of model components are needed.
- The associated uncertainty of model results has become a key-information for decision-making.
The intended ToK shall enable the researchers to extend their modelling competence by addressing uncertainty issues and to develop new analysis tools and model components according to their research in an interdisciplinary environment. The knowledge transfer shall be implemented by two researchers with a) a background in computer science and b) mathematics/stochastics.
They shall be integrated into a project aiming at the further development of an object oriented modelling tool and the assessment of predictive uncertainty in river basin modelling with respect to data uncertainty and model complexity and different spatial scales. The knowledge transfer will be achieved by a mixture of workshops and practical work in the research group.
Gaining competence in informatics and uncertainty analysis will offer excellent opportunities to increase the long term research capacity of the hydrological modelling group and to meet the new demands. The proposed ToK will also build synergies on a European level and strengthens international collaborations of the modelling group.
