New Zealand’s newest and largest supercomputer has produced its first weather forecast.

Over 220,000 m3 of sediment was eroded from just 9.1km of Ūawa/Hikuwai riverbanks in Gisborne (Tairāwhiti).

A recently completed research programme undertaken by Earth Sciences New Zealand looked at the likely impact of climate change on deep lakes.

Evaluating its strengths and limitations through two Future Coasts Aotearoa case studies

Scientists have uncovered a key piece of the puzzle behind the unusual ‘slow earthquakes’ occurring off the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island.  

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an advanced simulation technology that uses numerical methods and powerful computing resources to model the movement of air in the natural environment.

Earth Sciences New Zealand researchers are studying the optimal growing conditions of aquatic plants to help restore degraded lakes. 

New high-resolution modelling predicts that rainfall from tropical cyclones will significantly increase under global warming.

A world-first study of marine life, including sea creatures found in New Zealand's dark, cold, pressurised ocean depths, has revealed that deep-sea life is surprisingly more connected than previously thought.

This research project is developing an energy-efficient, net-zero-emission process for wastewater denitrification.
