In this update we report on research activities over the last three months in the field, the lab and the development of a new resource. 

Learning from the experience of others

Know your invasive gold clam from your native pea clam and kaakahi/kaaeo.

Assessing depth specific distribution and relative abundance of gold clam and kākahi at Lakes Maraetai and Karaapiro.

Filter traps are being used to study the invasive gold clam in the Waikato River.

No detectable human-induced environmental change to the pristine Lake Vanda following the decommission of the research station.

Pioneering remote sensing for science, from satellite validation to drone platforms, marine monitoring to disaster response, and greenhouse gas tracking to solar radiation forecasting.

‎

The invasive gold clam (Corbicula fluminea) can reach very high population densities, which can harm freshwater ecosystems.

Short-term weather prediction in real time

Merger with GNS will come into effect by 1 July.
