Thesis topics
At our chair, bachelor and master theses can be carried out on a wide range of topics. Topics of some previous thesis are found in the alumni section. New proposals for topics result from current projects or arise in direct conversation with the members of the chair. Just get in touch with us.

We are in close contact with cooperation partners of the Universidad Austral de Chile and can offer inventory data from Chilean forest or shrub areas (Matorral) for topics on biometric analysis in Bachelor or Master theses. Support for (complementary) surveys in Chile is also offered by our cooperation partners. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Martin Zwanzig.
