SUMMARY:Tidal flat morphodynamics: Sediment sorting\, self-weight consolid
 ation and marsh distribution - Dr Zeng Zhou\, Associate Professor in Coast
 al Geomorphology\, Hohai University\, Nanjing\, China

DESCRIPTION:Dr Zeng Zhou is a coastal geomorphologist focusing on the (bio
 -)physical mechanisms underlying the formation and evolution of coastal an
 d estuarine landscapes. He is currently entering the field of coastal biom
 orphodynamics\, with a particular focus on tidal flat systems where tidal 
 channel networks and salt marshes are commonly present. Recently\, he is l
 eading a small group of young researchers and graduate students to explore
  some interesting questions using various approaches e.g. field and labora
 tory experiments\, numerical modelling and UAV imagery. His group aims to 
 gain fundamental insight into the biophysical effects of salt marshes (and
  biofilms) and their two-way interactions with coastal and estuarine morph
 ology\, so as to evaluate and predict the response of tidal flats\, channe
 ls and marshes to climate change (e.g. sea level rise\, increasing frequen
 cy of storms) and human activities (e.g. large-scale reclamation\, nearsho
 re fishery).
