Recent development in coastal oceanography Monday 7th @ 0950-1010, Conference Hall Xiao Hua Wang* , Sino-Australian Research Centre for Coastal Management (SARCCM), UNSW Australia Presenter Email: x.h.wang@unsw.edu.au |
Many world estuaries and coast environments are under tremendous stress in response to the increased anthropogenic forcing and climate change. A good understanding of the current state of these marine environment and lessons learnt from these human influences would be extremely valuable to restore and protect these habitats and ecosystems from further environmental degradation and catastrophe. This talk will provide a synthesis in which the latest research addressing the physics, sedimentary processes, biology, chemistry and ecological processes associated with these rapidly changing estuarine and coastal environments. It will explore the challenges and opportunities for future research in Chinese estuaries and coastal waters around the world. |
