Brief Description
Environment of the East Asia is characterized by following Natures: Located between interaction zones of largest ocean and continent; with monsoon climate and wave processes; strong tidal dynamics; active volcanic and earthquake tectonic processes; marginal seas surroundings with huge quantity of sediment input by a series of large rivers; heavy human impacts are imprinted directly onto the ocean or indirectly through rivers. The suggested topic will attract participants and scientific results leading to the improvement of human behaviours towards setting up a harmonic relationship with the existing environment.
