Are you intrigued by the virtual ecosystems that can be found in modern computer games, in the form of lush forests and grasslands? Then why not use that technology to visualise the ecological models that scientists make. At NIOZ, we offer Msc projects to students who want to use self-organization models to build virtual ecosystems, to show to the public how the ecosystems that we model really look like. This could be an interesting project both for students from ecology and from informatics. Are you interested, send me an email.

An example can be seen in this youtube movie:
