  ## Research
  
  Fluxes and fates of river-derived sediments in the 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, Mekong, Irrawaddy, and Salween, etc.; The impacts of post-glacial sea-level changes, coastal environmental changes; beach and delta erosions.
