Measuring river flood dynamics
NIWA is assisting an international research team to carry out an intensive flood dynamics study on a four-kilometre reach of the Rees River, a large braided river that flows into Lake Wakatipu at Glenorchy.
Read about some of the Instrument System team's latest projects in state-of-the-art delivery of environmental information.
For over two decades NIWA has installed automatic monitoring systems in hostile environments, and probably none is more hostile than the Antarctic. In 2009 we were involved in a project with a difference - installing a climate station as part of a project to protect Scott's Hut, Cape Evans.
