Some help with prepositions in my Thesis Title

Question

I'm not quite sure if this is the correct StackExchange. I'm working on the title for my Master-Thesis (CS) and the prepostions look a little bit weird to me.
My title would be:

New approaches for/to Min-Error Triangulations for Sea Surface Reconstruction

For me the "to" would feel strange, but if it should be "for", I would like to circumvent the second "for". My idea for that would be

New approaches for Min-Error Triangulations applied to Sea Surface Reconstruction

but that also sounds off to me.
Any help  would be appreciated

To supports verbs and for supports nouns.
So...

New approaches for Min-Error Triangulations for Sea Surface
Reconstruction

is perfectly alright, but since you'd like to avoid two for(s) here... I'm listing a couple of alternatives below.

New approaches employing Min-Error Triangulations for Sea Surface
Reconstruction

Here, employing takes the place of for without altering the meaning and also making it more formal.

New approaches to Minimize Errors in Triangulations for Sea Surface
Reconstruction

I'm not sure if this one sounds technically right, but I've put it anyway.
