Nationally Consistent Flood Hazard and Risk Information for Aotearoa

This talk will report on results from a 5-year MBIE-funded Endeavour Programme, Mā te Haumaru o te Wai on the development of a semi-automated workflow to consistently model flood hazard and risk over all of Aotearoa for current and future climates, and show results from this work that are being made available on our flood hazard and risk viewing platform to help ensure there is consistent information available.
Spatial insights for greener cities

In this seminar, we will explore the differences in health and health behaviours by neighbourhood, uncovering some of the underlying reasons for these variations in health. To better understand the range of ways in which differences in health emerge, Professor Malcolm Campbell will present a series of research projects from Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory
Polarimetric and Interferometric SAR for 3D Applications

In this seminar, this presentation will focus on polarimetric and interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques for environmental parameter estimation within the forest, agriculture and snow/ice domain.
