Atmospheric analysis

What are the potential causes of riparian vegetation loss from land use activities?

What are the potential sources of infectious substances from land use activities?

The latent heat flux and evaporation from lakes are predicted to increase in a warming climate. This model script (written in Matlab) estimates latent and sensible heat fluxes from lake water surfaces.

What are the potential impacts of mining activities on riparian vegetation around waterways?

Building a publicly-available database from the results of a marine mapping survey of the Bay of Islands provides us with a stocktake of the local aquatic resource, in turn giving us valuable information on what areas we can better manage for the future.

NIWA is working on a ministry-funded project to produce a model, validated by 40 years of historic data, to project future wave and storm surges off the coast for two climate change scenarios.

Once you have identified the problem, and applied the necessary tools for restoring fish to your stream, the next phase of your project is to monitor the stream site to see whether restoration works.

The tools available for restoring native fish to streams depend on what is causing fish to decline.
