2024年9月8日-14日，第三十八届海岸工程国际会议（International Conference on Coastal Engineering）在意大利罗马举行。此次会议吸引了来自50余个国家和地区、近1000名学者代表参加会议，共设置139个分会场主题报告。
团队陶爱峰教授、张弛教授、范骏副研究员、张炫副研究员、付睿丽副研究员、李元副研究员等赴现场参加了此次会议。与会师生做了题为“Mechanisms underlying the formation of cross-shore parallel tidal channel systems”、“The effects of regular and irregular waves on the evolution of a submerged berm in a low-energy beach”、“The impact of silt content on the flocculation process of clay-silt mixtures”、“Assessing the spatial-temporal wave energy characteristics along the southeast coast of China in a wave simulation study”、“Resonance among waves, current, and rippled bottoms in coastal zones”、“Turbulence characteristics in the bottom wave-current boundary layer”、“The impacts of a mangrove patch on wave pressures on the sea dike”、“Properties of extreme wave groups based on measured wave data”、“Role of wave-induced oscillatory motions in development of sandy-muddy transitional beaches on South China Coasts”、“Nonlinear wave group interaction in the long time wave evolution process”、“Wave attenuation by artificial oyster reefs based on experimental and numerical analysis”、“Long-term trends of extreme waves based on 55 years of observation data from the coastal sea area of China”、“A self-developed algorithm based on the Moving Particle Semi-implicit method for investigating dam break”的报告，会议期间还与国际同行开展了广泛交流和深入探讨。
海岸工程国际会议是美国土木工程师协会（ASCE）下属的海岸、海洋、港口和河流研究学会（COPRI）、海岸工程研究理事会（CERC）在全球范围主办的每两年召开一次的大型国际学术盛会，是海岸工程领域最有影响力的国际学术会议。首届会议举办于1950年，至今已成功举办38次，议题涉及港口、海岸及近海工程国家重点学科，包括海岸动力学、海工建筑物、港口与航道工程、海岸环境、海啸和海平面上升、海岸保护和基于自然的解决方案、海岸管理等方向的科学研究与工程实践。
