Welcome to the Chang Coastal Lab!

We are a research group in the Department of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. Our work focuses on coastal hydrodynamics and the physical processes governing interactions among waves, currents, sediments, and natural features in nearshore environments.

Through laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, and field observations, we aim to improve our understanding of coastal processes and provide insights that support sustainable shoreline management and long-term resilience.
