Major research interest
To examine the sediment source to sink processes in river-delta system. ?To analyze sediment yield, transport, and deposition affected by climate change, sea-level fluctuations and subsidence. Impact from the upper drainage basin to estuary, as represented by sedimentological, geomorphological and hydrological processes is also the major focus, including sediment flux/budget, runoff and geochemical input. Geoarchaeological evidences are closely incorporated into the interest. ?Application field of the river-delta study relates to land-use and water resources. Major study area involved includes Yangtze and Nile, and other places of the world.
