This project aims to establish a costeffective method to leverage drone and satellite data for long-term monitoring of suspended sediment distributions in Singapore’s coastal waters. Field investigations and laboratory experiments will enhance the understanding of sediment transport behaviour, providing insights to inform advanced simulations that will help safeguard Singapore’s coastal environment against sea level rise and climate-changeinduced extreme weather events.
This research seeks to develop anchored and multi-functional floating breakwaters for low-lying areas, providing protection against sea level rise and extreme weather events, while supporting green-energy generation. Modular construction methods and datadriven monitoring techniques will ensure the resilience and sustainability of these coastal protection solutions — enhancing Singapore’s preparedness for the impacts of climate change.
