Project IC14_NZ - Hydrodynamics, Sediment Transport Modelling and Applications on the Tairua Estuary, New Zealand

The tidal inlet at Tairua is rapidly infilling due to sedimentation within the harbour, fed principally from both the Tairua River and onshore drift from the inner shelf. Several factors have been suggested as contributing to the high sedimentation rates within the estuary, including: episodic storm events in the steep land catchment debauching large slugs of sediment to the lower harbour; accelerated erosion from by forest harvesting; subdivision developments within the catchment; potential accelerated catchment erosion from climatic change effects; and long term persistent onshore creep of shelf sands.

Personal Information

I am originally from the city of Guiyang, along the Nanming River, in the southwest of China; I received a Bachelor Degree in Material Science & Technology in Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, in the central-south of China; I graduated with a Master Degree in Dredging Engineering of the faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Technology University of Delft, the Netherlands; after 12 years’ teaching in Hohai University, Changzhou campus, east of China, I want to do more research about coastal marine engineering; so I came to New Zealand and fortunately got a Ph.D position in Coastal Marine group of Waikato University.
