Research Interests:
Late Quaternary sea-level changes and their paleo-climatic and paleo-environmental implications; 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; 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 sub-bottom profiler (chirp sonar) and swath bathymetric sonar systems; Numerical modeling for sediment transport.
