Master thesis projects: You are a studying in a Geoscience field (Geodesy, Geology, Geophysics)? Here are several Diploma / Msc / Bsc thesis projects available. If you'd like to learn more about volcanoes and their tectonic surrounding, a thesis project on these topics may be what you are looking for. You need to be a regular student at a german university with special interests in one or several of those fields: volcanology, neotectonics, rock mechanics, remote sensing, GIS, physics, maths and programming. Your thesis subject will be about volcanotectonics, and may focus on one of the following domains: - volcano deformation
- dike intrusion and dike propagation - magma chamber evolution in tectonic setting - stress/strain relation in magma and conduit systems - activation of tectonic faults in volcanic environment - hydrothermal fluid flow in faulted volcanic rocks - earthquake / eruption probabilistic analysis - volcano destabilization and flank collapses - dynamic and static stress triggering in these areas: - european volcanoes (Etna,
Vesuvius, Eiffel, etc.)
- central and southern Andes, Chile - east african rift systems - basaltic ocean islands (Hawaii, Galapagos, Canaries etc.) - Indonesia (Java and Sumatra, Andamanen) - volcanoes and grabens on Mars using these tools: - field structural geology
- aerial image analysis - satellite image analysis - satellite geodesy (SAR interferometry) - statitics - analytical modelling - numerical modelling (finite element and boundary element methods) - analogue experimental simulations please contact T.R. Walter for further information |
