The Coastal and Ocean Engineering Laboratory aims to create safe and secure coastal areas against high waves, storm surges, and tsunamis. The laboratory has conducted large-scale hydraulic experiments, numerical simulations, and field observations with latest measurement equipment for various researches on coastal structures, coastal erosion, and wave energy converters.
