Professor Dr. Chris Gouramanis

Biography

Chris Gouramanis is a Research Fellow at the Australian National University, focusing on the interplay between climate change and natural hazards affecting groundwater resources. His research portfolio encompasses modern and ancient aquatic environments, analyzing the impacts of climatic and geophysical hazards on water resources. He employs diverse techniques in sedimentology, stratigraphy, and geochemistry to investigate sedimentary deposits and to draw insights about historical climatic events. Notably, he is involved in projects that examine coastal hazards, such as the effects of cyclones and tsunamis on coastal populations and infrastructure, particularly in Asia. Gouramanis has published extensively on various topics, including high-frequency coastal overwash deposits and palaeoclimate changes, contributing to the understanding of how climate change modifies environments and resource availability. His commitment to integrating scientific research with national policies to ensure effective environmental conservation is evident through his role in international environmental forums.
