Research areas
- Performances of civil infrastructure under the effects of permafrost degradation in the Arctic
- Permafrost coastal erosion and remediation
- Design and performances of civil infrastructure (levees, dams, bridges, roads) from investigating fundamental mechanisms to field-scale performances using experimental and numerical methods
- Seepage and erosion, including fundamental mechanisms and processes of surface and subsurface erosion, and erosion control and remediation measures including physical and biological measures; particle transport and multi-phase flow and distribution in porous media
