Coastal and Estuarine Sediment Dynamics Group

The group studies all aspects of hydraulic and morphological related phenomena in coasts and estuaries. We are developing knowledge and tools on the phenomena, sediment transpot and morphodynamics, beach protection, harbor siltation, for design, construction of engineering works and management of coastal area.

Coastal sediments consist of various materials including rocks, coarse and fine sand, silty clay and cohesive mud. We are actively studying on the complicated their transport processes by the research staffs with various back grounds and unique characters.
