Our group conducts research throughout Asia on a variety of coastal processes and hazards including tsunami, storm surges, sea level and coastal evolution.

Wanna know about global port risk with tsunamis and rising sea level? We did, so @cons_chua and co-authors wrote this paper https://t.co/m14V5sMkyB

Interested in Hydroclimatic impacts of the cooling event 8200 years ago in the Indo-Pacific? https://t.co/ICotBuBlQu Took a while to get this through but its a much better paper after review. Led by the amazing @yamadixit ! Give it a read !

Ever wondered about optimal bathymetry resolution vs computational time in tsunami modelling? https://t.co/PqkGQuDfoi with @JudithGeology

It took me a second to read the map correctly. Very cool! What’s the range of the world’s tides? Source: https://t.co/zuqq0WdRmP

Great to see this one out…. Quite surprising how funky the currents are in Singapore.
💡Paper Alert💡Curious to learn more about what drives coastal currents in Singapore? The @CoastalLabNTU has just published a new paper in Ocean Science here:

What a difference 30 miles can make. Left: Saturday night NHC track. 10+ft surge into Tampa Bay. Right: Sunday night NHC track. No surge into Tampa Bay. Illustrates how much of a squeaker this is. Pins and needles. Track north of Tampa Bay still very much possible. @WFLA

Cool timelapse of a storm surge ....
STORM SURGE TIMELAPSE 6 hours of surge condensed into about 90 seconds, this really shows how the tide shifts as the storm moves through. Cocodrie, LA - #HurricaneFrancine

Anyone used or using a Camsizer 3D? Any good for carbonate sediments?

Magnificent creature growing onshore for up to 80 or 100 years years, waits for just the right time of warming ocean temperatures and a storm surge carried by rising sea levels, this wonderful wood-backed beachhouse heads for the ocean to find a mate https://t.co/c0LN66KcuV

🚨New Perspective! Human modifications to the environment can amplify the hazards from earthquake-triggered landslides, liquefaction & tsunami🌊⚠️ This Perspective by @emh_geodesy et al. discusses these links to identify steps for hazard mitigation https://t.co/RpQSgDGiEI

Excited to share that in the #InVEST_EOS project at @EOS_SG and @NTUsg, we're thoroughly investigating cascading hazards like earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis using physics-based numerical modeling! 🌍
Did you know that not all #tsunamis 🌊 are caused by earthquakes in subduction zones? The tsunami following the 2018 Palu earthquake is an example. Studying interactions between earthquakes and tsunamis is a key part of #InVEST_EOS: https://t.co/atKW87mIdT

Our new paper in @NatureComms shows that all coastal defences have a positive economic return over a 20 year lifespan but hybrid coastal defence measures perform best.

Interested in seamounts and submarine volcanism in and around southeast Asia? You should be there is a hell of a lot of them !!!

Abstract. Submarine volcanism makes up approximately 85 % of volcanism that occurs on Earth, and its eruptions have the potential to cause several hazards including ash dispersal, pumice rafts,...

🌊 In the past 100 years, just 58 tsunamis have claimed more than 260,000 lives. Tsunamis can be terrifying and deadly for everyone, but their impact is not the same for all. #GetToHighGround
