Farmers visiting Fieldays at Mystery Creek in June could not have missed the take-home message: that science and innovation are key to their continued success.

Te Huringa ki te Rangi is a decision-making model to support indigenous and coastal communities.

A senior NIWA scientist is concerned many councils are having difficulty “getting off the starting blocks” when it comes to planning for coastal climate change.

The touch screen in action at Fieldays.revealing how our climate will change across the country.

One of the world's leading scientific publishers has named a paper cowritten by a NIWA scientist as one of 250 groundbreaking findings that could "help change the world".

Our climate is changing - we need to act now.

NIWA is encouraging farmers to plan for climate change so they can maximise their abilities to adapt and thrive as significant change begins to take place.

Our scientists provide the knowledge key for evidence-based decision-making and for our society as a whole.

As climate change takes hold, regional council planning, sustainability and hazard managers are looking to NIWA.

New Zealand’s glaciers have all retreated and lost volume since NIWA started surveying them in 1977.
