3. RESEARCH INTEREST
I. Field: Environmental Science
1. Environmental Science Environmental geology:
Geological hazards: Erosion of riverbanks and coasts; landfill construction; landscape analysis for tourism …). Evaluation of scientific values and addition of geoheritage sites, geological conservation, Geotourism; Land planning.
2. Environmental chemistry:
Environmental chemistry of water, air, soil, environmental quality monitoring.
3. Environmental health:
Environmental epidemiology (climate change and disease); Assessing health risks (effects of environmental factors on human health; environmental health indicators)
Clean water and water use strategies; Model of behavior change unrelated to environmental health; Application of GIS-remote sensing.
4. Energy and environment:
Bioenergy (biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas), clean energy (sun, wind, tide).
5. Environmental economics:
Valuation of land ecological services; Sustainable livelihoods; Calculating economic efficiency of the project (tourism, waste treatment …) Eco-economy; resource economics.
II. Natural resources and environment Field
1. Water resources:
- Application of the hydrological mathematical model to assess basin water resources;
- Apply hydraulic mathematical model to simulate flow and river water quality;
- Assess the potential of water resources, determine water use demand and calculate the water balance of the basin;
- Assess the impact of water exploitation works on water resources of the basin and propose operating procedures;
- Assessment of groundwater extraction and related environmental impacts (ground subsidence, salinity…).
2. Land resources:
- Planning for sustainable use of land;
- Assessment of land use change; GIS and MCA in sustainable land resources;
- Assessment of soil erosion by GIS – Remote Sensing;
- Assessment the suitability of plants – soil.
- Monitoring seasonal changes with remote sensing data.
- Assessment of urban temperature variation.
3. Biological resources and forests:
- Ecology Environment (conservation of biodiversity;
- Biological resources and environment: current status of use; alien organisms ….);
- Wetland ecology (Inventory, current status of resources, management solutions…);
- Remote sensing and GIS in mapping forest status and changes;
- Research on the correlation of geo-biodiversity.
4. Mineral resources:
Study of some types of minerals (Coal, aluminum, iron, construction stone, sand and gravel; petroleum; mineral water; Assessment of environmental impacts of mining and mineral processing activities; Mineral economics.
III. Environment and marine resources
1. Coastal environment:
- Assessment of natural hazards in the coastal strip;
- Remote sensing and GIS in coastal change assessment;
- Develop a map of natural/social vulnerability to sea level rise;
- Study of changes in sea surface temperature using satellite images;
- Assessment of marine pollution (oil spill, red tide, solid waste, wastewater);
- Monitoring changes in suspended sediments in the estuary area.
2. Coastal and marine resources:
- Coastal solid mineral extraction and environmental impacts;
- Tourism resources and environment; marine tourism resources.
- Aquaculture and its environmental impact;
- Oil and gas exploitation and environmental impact;
3. Marine and ocean ecology:
Coral and seagrass ecosystems; Ecology of estuaries, lagoons and bays; Assessment of the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems; Ecology of coastal wetlands.
