摘要：

　　The coasts cover a diverse range of ecosystems within marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. They are some of the most heavily populated and visited areas and are also some of the most threatened natural habitats. Coastal zones are critically important not only to the people who live there but for the health of the planet. Many world estuaries and coast environments are under tremendous stress in response to global warming and the increased anthropogenic forcing. Therefore, a good understanding of the current state of these marine environments and lessons learnt from these human influences would be extremely valuable to restore and protect these habitats and ecosystems from further environmental degradation and even catastrophe. In this talk, I will document the current trend and development in observing and modelling of estuaries and coastal oceans with a focus on sediment transport dynamics and hydrodynamics of these environments.
