Final year project/ dissertation ideas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around final year project ideas for a BSc Physics course, specifically focusing on the intersection of Climate and Astronomy. Jadaav expresses interest in exploring topics such as the correlation between solar activity and weather dynamics, as well as modeling weather on other planets. A suggestion is made to investigate galaxy properties in relation to dark matter halos, referencing the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) project for potential research opportunities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of climate dynamics and meteorology
  • Familiarity with astronomical concepts and galaxy formation
  • Proficiency in modeling and simulation techniques
  • Knowledge of dark matter and its role in galaxy formation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the correlation between solar activity and terrestrial weather patterns
  • Explore modeling techniques for simulating weather dynamics on other planets
  • Investigate the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) project and its findings
  • Study the halo occupation distribution (HOD) model in astrophysics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, particularly those focusing on climate science and astronomy, as well as researchers interested in the interplay between these fields and the implications for future studies.

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.
