Solving long-term extreme coastal risk
Welcome
Coastal Disaster Research Laboratory (official name is Research Section of Coastal Disasters) conducts research in coastal and ocean engineering, particularly in the prevetion and mitigation of storm waves, storm surge, and tsunami hazards.
We are work on long-term risk assessment of coastal mega disasters considering climate change. We are also engaged in research on understanding nature-based solution, specially, mangrove forest, for coastal protection
Laboratory Motto
Keep top level research
Enjoy research and life
Respect your colleagues
and we belive
chance favors the prepared mind
