Atmospheric analysis

NIWA is leading the sustainable growth of Aotearoa New Zealand's aquaculture industry.

Funded by the Ministry of Health, NIWA air quality researchers are carrying out research to understand ventilation behaviour and examine how well spaces used by our most vulnerable populations are, and could be, ventilated.

For the first time, satellites have been used to track coastal water health around Aotearoa New Zealand.

NIWA and Surf Life Saving New Zealand are working together to develop a state-of-the-art, rip current identification tool.

Students will explore possible adaptation options using the criteria of cost, ease, timeliness, and any limitations, including uncertainty.

Students will apply understanding gained from previous activities and will engage in the uncertainty of climate change and its implications.

Building on their knowledge of the local climate and any recent events, students explore predicted impacts of climate change.

As ‘climate journalists’, students will research a recent significant local or national climate related event.

In this activity, students will determine the potential personal impacts of climate change on things that are important to them.
