- Rainfall and water table monitoring
- Static flood and water runoff modelling
- Statistical precipitation forecasting
- Optimization of the analogue method
Fields of Expertise
Geology
By coupling traditional field works and advanced GIS skills, Terranum provides relevant geological consulting works related to superficial formations, quaternary mapping, structural analyses or engineering geology.
Hydrology
The team has a large expertise in hydrology, particularly in floods or surface runoff modelling. Several solutions in hydrology have also been developed.
Meteorology
Terranum is at the cutting edge of the statistical precipitation forecasting by means of the analogue method. The AtmoSwing software can provide automatic operational forecasting that is easy to implement and user-friendly on the results. Moreover, we have a unique tool to provide a global optimization of the analogue method by means of Genetic Algorithms, which is fully automatic and objective.
