PhD students (5)and Master Degree students (10) PhD students (5)and Master Degree students (10) in Coastal Study area in Physical in Coastal Study area in Physical Geography since 1980s Geography since 1980s in Marine Geology since 2000 in Marine Geology since 2000 Bachelor Degree students (15-20) in Marine Sciences since 2006 in Marine Sciences since 2006

3. strong fundamental subject training The students in Nanjing University were chosen from top 5 in per thousand candidates who passed the University Entrance Examination. The students in Nanjing University were chosen from top 5 in per thousand candidates who passed the University Entrance Examination. Those students in Marine Sciences studied in the fundamental school in our university in the first two years, got a strong fundamental subjects training in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science etcs.

7. Land-sea interaction, including river-sea interaction, coastal landscape formation and evolution, and coastal ecology system. Coastal Ocean dynamic processes and their resource and environment response, including sediment and geomorphological dynamic process, coastal and Island development, environment protection and Vulnerability of coastal systems and hazards to human societies. Study areas focus on coastal Ocean

8. Earth system behavior and globe change related to coastal ocean, including sedimentation sysytem and sediment record process, polar coast and globe climate change record, and margin sea evolution dynamics.

9. Study on river-sea interaction and plain coast development. River –sea interaction played a very important role in the development of coastal plain, plain coast and accumulated continental shelf.

10. River is the main channel of land-sea interactiopn More than thousand rivers flow to the sea in China. The sediment discharge were ever up tp 2.01×10 9 t/a Dam construction in Upper an Middle River Water flow and discharge decreaded. Delta and plain coast changed 、 Study on river-sea interaction and plain coast development.

11. North Jiangsu coastal plain used to be a palaeo embayment, developed gradually from sand barrier lagoon under the interaction of Yangtze River and Yellow River, and also the accumulated radiant sand ridges which dominated by sediments from ancient Yangtze River. During Quternary, they suffered the sea environment for 4 times.

12. Harbour Construction Yangkou Harbour, This research can be applied to harbour construction in plain coast Caofeitian Caofeitian

13. Yangkou Harbour Caofeidian
