An interactive guide to the starfish of the Ross Sea

The main output of this voyage is providing data and fundamental base maps for future regional prospectivity surveys, tectonic plate reconstructions, and general understanding of the architecture of the Kermadec backarc.

A weekly update describing soil moisture across the country to help assess whether severely to extremely dry conditions are occurring or imminent.

We have reached the end of our sampling program up in the Kermadecs and we’re on our way home

Warm nor’westers, or foehn winds, are forecast for parts of the eastern South Island tomorrow and Wednesday, before spreading to the east of the North Island from Wednesday into Thursday.
