Impacts of mining on water quality and mahinga kai.

NIWA has working relationships with hundreds of organisations in New Zealand and overseas.

AQUA and TERRA are polar orbiting satellites that both pass over New Zealand twice per day.

These datasets are available in a range of formats.

Measurements of snowfall at low elevations around New Zealand are few and far between, and yet the data would be really helpful in understanding how snowfall occurs and quantifying snow-related risks.

All aspects of the climate of Canterbury are dominated by the influence of the Southern Alps on the prevailing westerly airflows.

Like the GMS satellite, the NOAA Series of polar orbiting satellites (operated by NOAA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) are a component of the World Weather Watch meteorological satellite network.

NIWA expends considerable effort on determining the age of commercial fish species. But why age a fish? And how do we do it?

Because of its exposure to disturbed weather systems from the Tasman Sea, this climate zone is often quite windy, but has few climate extremes.

Casal2 is an advanced software package developed by NIWA for modelling the population dynamics of marine species.
