Outline of Project Schedule
The proponent and the collaborators have been actively engaged in cooperative research relating to study and integration of engineering and biogeochemical research techniques to characterize, analyze and solve various coastal environmental problems albeit in informal tie-ups for the past three (3) years or more. In the process, they have amassed various tools, in the form of in-situ environmental data gathering methods, instruments, numerical simulation techniques for shallow-water hydrodynamics and optical models for satellite image analysis. In order to optimize the utilization of these tools, this proposed project will enable them to reach out to as many countries in the region for sharing not only expertise, but also for mobilizing a wealth of technical resources for assessment and monitoring.
