Linking optical imaging techniques and 2D-modelling for stuyding spatial heterogenity in vegetated streams and rivers. University of Antwerp
The major aim of this project is to develop and apply new 'surface covering' optical measuring techniques with a high spatial and temporal resolution to characterise plant-flow interactions in river ecosystems. This new type of information will be used for the 2D numerical model development within the STRIVE-package. Two individual research fields are defined, based on the scientific sub-discipline and consequent character of measurements.
