Resilience to Nature’s Challenges Kia manawaroa - Ngā Ākina o Te Ao Tūroa is one of 11 National Science Challenges funded by government to tackle the big science questions facing Aotearoa New Zealand. Our mission is to accelerate Aotearoa New Zealand’s natural hazard resilience through innovative, collaborative science. We’re deepening our understanding of natural hazards and creating new tools to build our resilience. Users of our research are involved from the start to ensure our research outputs are useful, usable and used.
Mātauranga Māori and mātuaranga-a-iwi are unique to Aotearoa. They have guided a general understanding of our land and provided more specific insights into volcanism that parallel many of the of the problems that scientific research is trying to solve today.
