NIWA is developing a national river flow forecasting tool for New Zealand that aims to support and strengthen our planning for and response to extreme rainfall events.

IWA aims to provide the key science services required by the national and international fisheries sectors and their industry partners.

NIWA is develops and applies standardised stock monitoring and assessment methodologies for New Zealand's deepwater, inshore, and freshwater fisheries.

NIWA researchers are developing a physics-informed and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven method to vastly reduce the computer power needed to provide accurate climate change projections.

The development of updated national climate projections for Aotearoa New Zealand was completed in 2024.

The My Coastal Futures game was developed to help people understand climate change impacts and start thinking about how they might adapt.

NIWA and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) are working together to develop a new drought forecasting tool.

You’ll be blown away by what these women in science are doing onboard RV Tangaroa in the Tasman sea!

The NIWA research ship Tangaroa was chartered by the Ministry of Primary Industries to survey the hoki fishery on the Chatham Rise during January 2022.

Since the early 2000s, NIWA has been part of the international Argo programme, which is deploying floats to measure temperature and salinity throughout the world's oceans.
