Amirmahdi Gohari

University of Auckland
Supervisors: Karin Bryan and Giovanni Coco

Amirmahdi started his PhD studies at the University of Auckland in July 2024. His research topic, funded by the Our Changing Coast project, is “Predicting Short-term (decadal-scale) Shoreline Evolution Using Data-driven Models at Selected Regional Scales around New Zealand.” The proposed research aims to investigate the influence of environmental factors on short-term shoreline evolution around New Zealand, identify and address knowledge gaps in existing predictive methodologies (e.g., ShoreFor, SPADS, ECNNLM), develop robust data-driven models to predict decadal-scale shoreline changes, and enhance our understanding of the complex interactions governing shoreline dynamics.
