TEACHING AND RESEARCH AREAS
Late Quaternary sea-level changes and their paleo-climatic and paleo -environmental implications; see more ...

Flux and fate of river-derived sediment in the marginal sea. Riverine sediment dispersal, transport, and accumulation in different continental margin environments, in particular those delatic and clinoform deposits from the large rivers in Asia, e.g. Yellow, Yangtze, Pearl, Red, and Mekong, etc; see more ...

Land-Ocean Interactions: Postglacial stepwise sea-level rise and formation of various stratigraphic sequences< (Transgressive layer, flooding surface, and depositional hiatus)

Nearshore and Offshore Seafloor Digital Mapping using high-resolution Subbottom Profiler (Chirp Sonar) and Swath Bathymetric Sonar System. see more ...

Watershed, estuarine and coastal modeling using GIS tools for best assessment of landuse, water quality, sediment budget, total maximum daily load (TMDL), coastal and barrier islands protection and development. see more ...
