🌊 Hydrological patterns in the Inhulets River Basin

I’m working on a large-scale study of the technogenic impact on the Inhulets River system (Ukraine).
The workflow combines R + SAGA GIS + QGIS for geomorphometric and hydrological analysis.

Over the past week, I’ve been refining digital elevation models and tracing surface runoff connectivity — not an easy task in a region reshaped by century of mining.

The map below shows one of the calmest and most “well-behaved” areas, far from the mining zone.
As for the drainage network over the mining areas… let’s just say it’s geological chaos down there 😄

🧭 Tools: SAGA GIS (Terrain Analysis), R, QGIS

Exciting News from the #AI and #freshwater Modelling project at the University of Auckland! 🎓

Master’s student Nicolas Samelson, supervised by Dr. Jörg Wicker and Dr. Katharina Dost, is breaking new ground in #environmentalmodeling. His thesis leverages #machinelearning to enhance process-based models, especially in scenarios with limited data.
