Research
Research activities will focus on the inter and multi-disciplinary expertise of the collaborating institutions in science and education and will aim at developing tools and models, based on observed data, which can be used to highlight the relevance of the data to local development challenges, making clear the benefits of climate data collection for solving practical problems faced by the communities.
Synergies will be created between the educational material and relevant research questions that can be addressed with the available data.
ETH MSc student research
Three Environmental Engineering students from ETH took part in a 2020 winter school in Ghana where they learned about local development challenges. Their thesis topics were selected based on their experiences in Ghana. The MSc theses are as follows:
