Scientists help lamprey to spread the love
Media release30 September 2019Contraptions that resemble upside-down kitchen sinks have been placed in the Waikawa River in Southland to attract a notoriously elusive native fish species. -
NZWaM - Water-age model
The purpose of the water-age model is to represent water exchange between land, surface-water bodies and aquifers. -
NZWaM - Surface water flow model
This task aims to improve and enhance the accuracy of surface hydrological model discharge predictions, at both catchment and regional scales. -
NZWaM - Groundwater flow model
The role of the NZWaM groundwater model is to improve surface water model simulations, by estimating groundwater storages and groundwater fluxes. -
NZWaM - Hydro-Geofabric
The purpose of the Hydro-Geofabric task is to gather, harmonise and augment existing multi-source spatial datasets to form a framework. -
NZWaM - Benchmarking
The purpose of the benchmarking task is to develop and implement a state-of-the-art operational method (that can be applied at national scale) to test hydrological models in New Zealand -
How do clouds modify the response of mountain glaciers to climate change?
Research ProjectWhile we know that glaciers are sensitive to changes in their local climate, our understanding of exactly how mountain glaciers will respond to climate change is incomplete. -
