Team
Our team worked on the Whakahura programme between 2019 and 2024. See the team and how to contact us below.
At the leading edge of relevant research fields, our team and our overseas partners were uniquely placed to develop new frontiers building upon the latest knowledge of climate change and extreme weather science.
This work encompassed the detection and attribution of climate change, climate change emergence, disaster economics, and mātauranga Māori.
