Sustainable Ocean Engineering
Developing sustainable ocean engineering solutions can significantly help tackle the challenges the world is facing in energy and food supply. Some challenges are:
- Marine renewables
- Dynamics and forcing of/on floating structures
- Scour and scour protection around marine systems
- Erosion and deposition near marine systems
- Dynamics of marine aquaculture systems
- Mooring and anchoring systems
Coastal Structures
Coastal structures and coastal protection systems are safeguarding population and ecosystems against waves and stormsurges
Coastal Dynamics
Coastlines are dynamic systems shaped by waves, currents and the sediment mobility, and influenced by the presence of biota.
Future Urban Coastlines
Climate change necessitates coastal adaptation especially in urbanized areas.
Marine Natural Hazards
Tsunamis, and storm surges are threatening our coastlines, and we need to build resilience.
Projects
A variety of ongoing projects currently researched at Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources.
