SEA-Fluids 课题组
Seabed Evolution Affected by Fluids

Chaoqi Zhu

I am an Associate Professor at Ocean University of China and the founder of the SEA-Fluids Research Group (Seabed Evolution Affected by Fluids). My research explores how fluid processes regulate seabed evolution, environmental changes, and marine geohazards.

The seafloor is a dynamic interface shaped by fluid processes from both within and above the seabed. My group investigates how subsurface geological fluids, oceanic fluid dynamics, and sedimentary processes govern seabed evolution and influence seafloor stability across different spatial and temporal scales.

By integrating deep-sea observations, geophysical exploration, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations, we aim to reveal the mechanisms controlling fluid migration, sediment dynamics, seabed deformation, and marine geohazard evolution.

Our research spans submarine fluid systems, methane seepage, gas hydrate-related processes, internal waves, typhoon-driven benthic storms, sediment resuspension, and submarine landslides.

Through multidisciplinary observations and modeling, we seek to advance understanding of the dynamic evolution of the seafloor and provide new insights into marine environmental change and geohazard assessment.
