The next region in New Zealand I’ll look at is the Wellington region. Wellington is the New Zealand capital, and the greater Wellington region has a population of ~430K, third largest in the country behind Auckland and Christchurch. 1/ 🧪

Tall mountains and tiny flowers. Gorgeous little South Island edelweiss hiding between rocks. Another amazing day around Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park during the GNS Science GNSS/GPS field campaign

Had a stunning day “at the office” in the Southern Alps. Annual GNS Science GNSS/GPS campaign, this year in the central South Island.

I am very very jealous that this family on Prince Edward Island (Canada) had a small meteor hit their sidewalk and managed to catch it on their door cam in what is likely the first audio and visual recording of a meteor strike!

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

Had an awesome last day of the 2024 #GSNZ conference, fieldtrip to learn about Dunedin’s Volcanic Geology which included a visit to Quarantine Island. Many thanks to Ayla, Marco and James

This morning has a nice write up by @jamiemorton.bsky.social of our recent work investigating how Taupō volcano responded to shaking from the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake: www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/surprise-...
Kaikōura 2016 earthquake linked to unrest at Taupō supervolcano - 500km away
It’s been a question on the minds of geoscientists - can big quakes trigger eruptions?

Well I guess, since I made an account, I might as well share couple of field photos from today.
