Focus on research and development of environmental response, modelling and forecasting techniques for offshore and medium to large scale marine environments under future climate change and human intervention (e.g. ecological restoration, environmental governance), in particular:

1. Hydrodynamic Characterization of Offshore and Medium and Large Scale Seas

• [1] Mechanisms of migration and transformation of near-shore marine plastic wastes;

• [2] Synergies between ecological restoration and disaster prevention and mitigation in the coastal zone;

• [3] Disaster-generating pattern of extreme sea state and the integration of data and intelligence for forecasting.

2. Fluid-solid Coupling Dynamic Response Study

• [1] Theoretical study and simulation prediction of the transportation process of marine floating garbage under the joint action of wind, wave and current;

• [2] Hydrodynamic Response of Large Floating Body Structures and Their Prediction by Simulation of Floating Environmental Conditions and Navigational Safety.
