Mehdi Taheri

Mehdi Taheri is a Research Associate in Geomorphology at the College of Arts, Technology and Environment, University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. His work focuses on reconstructing past climate changes in regions like Tunisia and Libya, with a particular emphasis on assessing climate impacts on cultural heritage through multiproxy analyses and climate modelling.

• PhD in Soil Science
• MSc in Soil Science
• BSc in Soil Science

Mehdi's research integrates paleoclimatology, soil science, and geospatial technologies. He utilizes paleomagnetic techniques, micromorphology, clay mineralogy, and stable isotope analysis to study Quaternary-era climate shifts. His expertise in Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enables erosion mapping and sedimentation rate estimation, contributing to understanding long-term environmental dynamics.

Recent publications highlight his focus on loess deposits in Iran, Tunisia, and Central Asia, analyzing their mineralogical and geochemical properties to infer paleoclimatic conditions. His work bridges geomorphological studies with heritage conservation, emphasizing climate change's role in shaping cultural landscapes.

Mehdi's expertise spans:

• Climate Modelling
• Paleoclimate Reconstruction
• Soil Science
• Remote Sensing (RS)
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
