Final year project/ dissertation ideas

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking ideas for final year projects in a BSc Physics course, with a focus on topics related to Climate and Astronomy. Participants explore various potential project themes and their implications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Jadaav expresses interest in project ideas that combine Climate and Astronomy, seeking suggestions from others.
  • One participant questions whether a combination of Astronomy and Climate could involve studying weather dynamics on other planets.
  • Jadaav considers focusing on terrestrial aspects, such as the correlation between solar activity and Earth's weather, while acknowledging the complexity of modeling and simulations.
  • A suggestion is made to explore a project titled "Dependence of galaxy properties on halo mass," which involves investigating galaxy properties in relation to dark matter halos.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on specific project ideas, with multiple suggestions and interests expressed, indicating a variety of potential directions for final year projects.

Contextual Notes

Some ideas presented depend on complex modeling and simulations, and the feasibility of projects may vary based on available resources and expertise.

Hello,

I'm currently on a BSc Physics course and I need some ideas for my final year project.

I'm mostly thinking about Climate and Astronomy or a mixture of both would suit me more.

Regards,
Jadaav.

Could you please post more of your ideas? You must have many ideas and details, one would hope.

And if you combine Astronomy and Climate, would you be writing about the weather dynamics on other planets in our solar system?
 
I'm like thinking more down to Earth even though weather dynamics on other planets is not a bad idea at all. I might even consider it ! Although it would require lots of modeling and simulations.

I was thinking kinda like correlation between sun's activity and weather.

I want something that's going to be useful in the (near) future.

Regards,
Jadaav.

Hi Jadaav, I have surfed University of Sussex and have found your desired details Herehttp://www.sussex.ac.uk/mps/internal/departments/physicsandastronomy/ug/studyingphysics/pa_projects it from the page:
Project title: Dependence of galaxy properties on halo mass
Description: It is believed that all galaxies live in dark matter halos. The Galaxy and Mass Assembly project (GAMA; http://www.gama-survey.org/) provides total mass estimates for galaxy groups from galaxy dynamics. This will allow you to investigate the dependence of galaxy properties, such as stellar mass, star formation rate, incidence of AGN activity, on host halo mass and location within the halo, and thus provide constraints on the halo occupation distribution (HOD) model.
