  Title: Path of the momentum from typhoons into the upper ocean Abstract:  Tropical cyclones as severe weather systems born in the tropical ocean, can cause devastating damages to the coastlines, such as the storm surges. For the response of the upper ocean to the tropical c... Read More

  Title: Using Numerical Simulations and Field/Lab. Experiments to Study the Riverbed Scouring Abstract: Taiwan is located at the subtropics zone of the West Pacific Ocean. It is frequently struck by typhoons with raging storms and heavy rains during the raining seasons. That results... Read More

  Title: Development of A Multilevel Well System Using Fiber Bragg Grating Technology and Its Application on Aquifer Characterization Abstract: Groundwater monitoring well is crucial to observe aquifer status. Well cluster and nested well are usually employed to measure the multi-depth... Read More

  Title: Dynamics and Variability of Topography-induced Shear Instabilities in Western Boundary Currents Abstract: Shear instability is one of the most important turbulence generation mechanisms in the ocean, in which flow instabilities develop in stratified shear flows and domina... Read More

  Title: Supporting Water Resources Outlooks with Short-Term Climate Forecasting - Experiences and Challenges Abstract: Having an annual rainfall of 2,500 mm/yr in Taiwan, water resource management is still a challenging issue to our society due to significant spatial and temporal... Read More

  Title: Global sea level and waves in a warming climate Abstract:  I will explain how and why sea level and surface waves have changed due to a warming climate and altered wind pattern, pointing out particular vulnerable coastal regions around the globe.

  Title: Tropical cyclone rapid intensification Part II: Can warm eddies trigger rapid intensification? Abstract: Can a warm ocean eddy cause a passing tropical cyclone to rapidly intensify (maximum 10-m wind speed increases more than 15 m/s/24 hours)? Many studies have suggested an ... Read More

    Title: Tropical cyclone rapid intensification Part I: The roles of large-scale environments Abstract: Tropical cyclones that undergo rapid intensification (maximum 10-m wind speed increases more than 15 m/s/24 hours) often develop into major storms, and are of intere... Read More

  Title: The Interactive Behavior in a Coupled Solid and Fluid System Abstract:  Solid and fluid bodies are the main natural components in the world. Rock, soil, and fluid construct the hydrogeology and engineering geology fields. The interactive phenomena between coupled sol... Read More
