The NIWA library collection contains items in a range of formats, covering subjects including atmospheric and climate research, aquaculture, oceanography, fisheries and marine sciences.

The process of coming to work with us has five steps: applying, a phone interview, a face to face interview, background checks, and an offer.

Providing educational resources to school students and teachers is part of NIWA's commitment to helping young New Zealanders discover more about science and technology.

We recognise that there's so much more to life than just work!
