Kia ora koutou | Hello everyone

 

On behalf of the organising committee, we would like to invite you to join us for this year’s Meteorological Society of New Zealand / New Zealand Hydrological Society Joint Conference in Kirikiriroa Hamilton. 

 

The conference theme is “Stormy with a Chance of Solutions: tackling climate & water challenges”. It captures the idea that the challenges posed by climate change and water management are more pressing than ever, and it is through collaboration and shared knowledge that we can hope to find sustainable solutions. 

 

This conference is not just about addressing the problems we face but also about celebrating the progress we have made and the potential for future breakthroughs. Together, we can turn the tide on climate and water challenges, ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for all. 

 

The technical programme will be complemented by social events, providing excellent networking opportunities. The conference will be capped off with fascinating field trips around the Waikato on the last day.

​

The Waikato region offers stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant communities. From the magical Waitomo Caves and the mighty Waikato River to the world-renowned Hamilton Gardens and the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set, enjoy your trip to our region!

 

We look forward to a productive and inspiring conference.

 

Ngā mihi nui | Kind regards,

 Nicki Wilson - NZHS/Waikato RC and Nicolas Cullen - MSNZ/University of Otago
