Nguyen Tien Thanh

Nguyen Tien Thanh is a researcher in oceanography whose primary research interests include shoreline change, intertidal morphology, and coastal hydrodynamic processes. His research focuses on the coastal areas of southern Vietnam, particularly Can Gio and the Mekong Delta. His work investigates coastal erosion and accretion and examines the relationships among intertidal morphological changes, shoreline evolution, and natural and anthropogenic drivers.

His research approach integrates multi-temporal remote sensing data, historical maps, geographic information systems (GIS), meteorological and hydrological observations, and field-based topographic surveys. These complementary datasets support spatiotemporal analysis, the development of intertidal digital elevation models, and assessments of the relationships between hydrodynamic factors and coastal topographic changes.

Beyond marine and coastal research, his interests include remote sensing and GIS applications for flood monitoring, water-level variability analysis, and the assessment of relationships among urban expansion, land use and land cover change, and land surface temperature. His research aims to provide a scientific basis for environmental monitoring, coastal management, and climate change adaptation.
