Gibberula ficula (Murdoch & Suter, 1906) are micro snails in the family Cystiscidae.

A NIWA-led project to tackle coastal acidification in New Zealand.

A long-standing international scientific partnership is being celebrated in Central Otago today.

Scientists are taking some high-tech equipment to Fiordland next week to find out more about what happens when a river meets the ocean.

NIWA scientists are tapping into nature’s archives to understand our abrupt climate changes.

On the North Island, soil moisture levels have generally remained the same or increased when compared to this time last week.

Amphinome rostrata (Pallas, 1766), in the polychaete family Amphinomidae, can be found living amongst goose barnacles (species of Lepas) on drift objects in tropical oceans worldwide.

Work to protect New Zealand waters from an increasing number of invasive biological pests has received a funding boost to fight their spread.

We don’t clearly understand the ecological effects of commerical toothfish fishing in the Ross Sea region. To improve our knowledge, we conducted a survey of demersal (bottom-dwelling) fish species on the Ross Sea slope - particularly grenadiers and icefish - during the 2015 Antarctic Ecosystems Voyage.

Tropical Cyclone Winston is showing some signs of weakening as of this morning, now located about 600km southeast of Vanuatu’s southernmost islands.

Estuaries and coasts provide a wide range of benefits to New Zealanders – “ecosystem services”. However, we still don’t know enough about these ecosystem services – a challenge NIWA and other scientists are tackling with a new technique.

NIWA meteorologists continue to monitor the progression of Tropical Cyclone Winston.
