NIWA provides a multitude of monitoring and information services underpinning New Zealand’s science and environmental management: sky-to-sea, sensor-to-service, data-to-knowledge.
NIWA collects and manages significant amounts of New Zealand's environmental data, particularly in the climate, freshwater, marine and atmosphere domains.
NIWA maintains a range of national environmental observation services and datasets which underpin New Zealand’s research and fosters our improved understanding of some of our most precious national environmental resources, their spatial distributions, and temporal trends.
