Again….and again…and again. 2023 has seen 3 inundations of part of my little village of Riverhead much like this one after heavy rainfall. Fences taken out this time in places. Please consider sharing flood evidence at https://t.co/oQg27Vuj0w @Emily_M_Lane @niwa_nz @NZFloodPics

Last week, I was with @niwa_nz Gregor Macara & @bexparsonsking on Brewster Glacier helping @otago scientists measure snow thickness as part of the longest-running in situ glacier mass balance obs in Aotearoa NZ (started by @AMacGlac & contributed to by @DrLaurenVargo + others)

@sakakimoana Malo e lelei Dr Faka'iloatonga Taumoefolau. I am a visual content producer for NIWA in New Zealand. I was on the voyage to HTHH earlier this year documenting the researchers work and am now editing a video. I wanted to see if I could please use your footage? Malo, Bex

NIWA’s Dr Andrew Lorrey is leading an international team of climate scientists working in North Canterbury to try to understand why and when giant glaciers in the area disappeared thousands of years ago.

Watch to find out how they’re doing it. ⬇️📽️
