The course can only be taken as part of Master´s programmes given by our department. This is an internet based course.

Course contents

The course deals with hydrological modelling in a spatial context. Overall goals are to theoretically and practically give the students knowledge about possibilities and problems related to digital geographical data in hydrological modelling, spatially and temporally. Both the scientific/technical aspects as well as societal values of modelling and modelling results are included in the course. The course is given with both theoretical and practical (computer exercises) parts.

The course consists of the following parts:

  • Digital terrain data, methods for data sampling and data generation.
  • Model theory, from empirical to process based models.
