R-channels are pipes incised into the glacier ice through which much of the surface melt water flows. This Master project aims at enhancing our current R-channel laboratory experiment with high precision temperature measurements. Work will include both engineering challenges and measurements. - Fluid Physics, Other, Water and Sanitary Engineering

Gornersee is a well studied, ice-dammed lake above Zermatt, which drains as a glacier lake outburst flood. These floods pose one of the greatest glaciological hazards. The aim of the thesis is to model this outburst flood with unprecedented accuracy using a new, 2D subglacial drainage system model. - Earth Sciences, Fluid Physics

The focus of the thesis is to implement, evaluate and test a novel indoor positioning system for drone cinematography. The technology is based on infrared markers and uses visual odometry for localization. In a first step, the student should re-implement and test the system using offline data. In a second step, the estimation code should be implemented onboard on a Parrot Bebop 2 drone. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences
