A tiny community of New Zealand sea lions on the Otago Peninsula is helping scientists solve the mystery of why some populations are doing better than others.

Another colossal squid is under examination in Wellington, but this one could fit in the palm of your hand.

Ocean acidification conditions around the New Zealand coast are being measured to establish baseline conditions and to quantify future change.

This week we introduce to you the deepest parasite ever recorded, a nematode of the genus Trophomera Rubtzov & Platonova 1974.

NIWA scientists use the latest multibeam echo-sounding technology to generate new charts of the seafloor around Kapiti island.

Scientists from around the world will be at NIWA’s atmospheric research station in Central Otago next week to observe a rare astronomical event.

We are using modern techniques to map seafloor surrounding Kapiti Island, an area of significant cultural and environmental value to New Zealand.

NIWA researchers have produced a series of calendars to inform people when New Zealand's native freshwater and sport fish are migrating and spawning.

NIWA's publication "Freshwater Fish Spawning and Migration Periods" is designed to help people working near freshwater to minimise effects of their work on freshwater fish species.

NIWA's Dr Richard Querel's alma mater, University of Lethbridge in Alberta, has noted his ozone research on its website.
