Here is a repository of recent presentations our team has given.
Hydrosoc 2024
The annual New Zealand Hydrological Society conference was held in Blenheim in November 2024.
Matt presented two talks. The first showcased a SLMACC project where we assessed just how variable primary production can be under current climate change. The second showed off our new methodology to predict historical and steady state nitrate concentrations in a wells source zone. Patrick presented two talks on shallow groundwater hazard; the first on our national shallow groundwater hazard layer and the second on a local case study looking at the impacts of sea level rise induced water table shoaling in the lower Kaituna River.
Climate-change impacted extreme events: are we unknowingly forcing game-of-chicken between primary industry and rivers? by Matt Dumont
Using Bayesian inference to bridge the groundwater age divide: a lightweight data driven technique by Matt Dumont
Groundwater Dynamics in Kaituna, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand: Assessing RSLR Impacts on Groundwater Shoaling by Patrick Durney
Modelling Shallow Groundwater Risk in New Zealand Using Categorical Machine Learning Models by Patrick Durney
Hydrosoc 2023
The Australian Groundwater and New Zealand Hydrological Society conference was held in Auckland in November 2023. Matt presented on two of our key projects; delivering a groundwater model to support groundwater allocation limit setting and management of the Hawea Basin for Otago Regional Council, and the Our Land and Water mitigation effectiveness and monitoring design programme. Evelyn spoke about one of our important ground source heat pump projects in London, and the potential impacts of these systems on groundwater temperatures.
