Integrated Observation and Evaluation of Tropical Marine Environment

This sub-project was conducted since 2015 as a collaborative project between the Department of Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Third Institute of Oceanography (TIO), and the Island Research Center (IRC) under the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), People's Republic of China. The project aims to investigate various processes happening on the tropical sandy beaches that are related to coastal morphodynamics. It also involves identifying different patterns of coastal geomorphological changes as a result of geological and anthropogenic activities and classifying coastal land use based on geo-oceanography, in order to improve a plan on coastal management and planning.
