Preliminary scope of work

The PhD research project is seeking to quantify the changes in fluvial dynamics of the headwater part of the Sumava Mountains in Czech Republic. It is an interactive project by use of different approaches of drone-based (UAV) and field photogrammetry, digital gravelometry, and experimental bed load tracking as well as hydrodynamic modelling as tools for analysis of fluvial processes in montane streams. The main aim of the project is to analyze the response of fluvial processes to flooding and changes in landscape, related to forest disturbances (e.g. forest vegetation damage by pollution, bark beetle invasion, and anthropogenic modification of streams). The idea here is to test and to develop suitable new advanced technologies in remote sensing, detection, analysis and modelling of fluvial processes and to quantify their limiting factors.
