Guidance of SKLEC Open Research Fund

    

Supporting Fields
The Open Research Fund of State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research support research projects related to theoretical and applied research of estuarine and coastal discipline. The innovative projects with new ideas, new methods, or neodoxy, which are in the frontier domains or belong to the priority area of estuarine and coastal discipline, will be supported. The main research areas are listed as below:
Estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics, and its interaction with biogeochemical processes
Biophysical interaction and dynamic sedimentation process in muddy coastal environment
Hydro-sediment dynamics and morphodynamics of sandy coast
Response of river delta to catchment
Quantitative ascription of sediment source
Sediment problems of harbors and navigation channels
Carbon and nitrogen cycle in coastal wetlands and its environment effect
Biogeochemical cycles and ecotoxicological effect
Ecological remediation in coastal zone
Global change, risk assessment in coastal zone, and early-warning technology
Biogeomorphic processes in estuaries and coasts
Coupled coastal wetlands and open shelf ecosystem dynamics modelling
Sedimentary records of Holocene deposits in estuaries and coasts

New technological development including remote sensing, high precision topography
Multi-disciplinary studies
