The themes of the IAVCEI 2022 Scientific Assembly encompass the broad disciplines that seek to understand volcanism and magmatism, including natural processes, investigative techniques and the benefits and impacts to society. More info

The scientific programme will be complemented and facilitated by the diverse context of the New Zealand volcanic environment, which will be highlighted across the activities of the scientific assembly.

I.     Magmatism and tectonism
II.    Using field data, geophysics, geochemistry, statistics, and modeling to probe volcanic and plutonic systems
III.   Eruption triggers and styles: From precursors to eruption
IV.   Volatile influences on eruption style, degassing, atmospheric chemistry and climate
V.    Evaluating and communicating volcanic hazards and risks
VI.   Monitoring: developing new approaches and novel applications of existing technologies
VII.  Volcanoes, energy, resources and the environment
VIII. Volcanoes and society: from indigenous peoples to a multicultural world
IX.   Future thinking - what's on the horizon that could be a game-changer?

Large sums are already being invested in developing data/research infrastructures in the research area and in industry with great ambitions and there is no doubt that much additional awareness, new insights and new types of services and tools will emerge. However, despite these huge investments there is no agreed view on how the future data space should be organized, what its key pillars should be and how access to data will be organized. 

This panel is meant to initiate a discussion across initiatives about major organizational principles and key pillars, i.e., it is a first action item on an intended series of meetings about this topic. Its goal is therefore to identify major aspects that need to be considered when brainstorming about the emerging future global data space. For this purpose, we invited 3 “thinkers” whom we know dare to look ahead without being bound by current projects and political considerations.

In this webinar, a panel will discuss how future data space should be organised, what its key pillars should be, and what access to data will look like. Their goal is to identify major aspects that need to be considered when brainstorming about the emerging future global data space.

Whale Tales 2022, an incredible immersive public art trail, is surfacing in Tāmaki Makaurau this January!

80 Tails telling 80 tales will be dotted across Auckland streets, parks, and open spaces for 12 weeks starting 24 January 2022.

Each giant Tail is inspired by a healthy ocean and designed by some of Aotearoa’s most talented artists. Follow the outdoor trail for some fabulous family fun, or wander through with friends to find your own favourite.

WWF-New Zealand has partnered with Wild in Art, Auckland Unlimited, and Harcourts NZ to bring the trail to the City of Sails and raise awareness of the vital work WWF-New Zealand does to look after our ocean, including our beautiful Hauraki Gulf and its endangered resident, the Bryde’s Whale. There are only 135 Bryde’s whales left in the Hauraki Gulf, and it is a “Nationally Critical” species. Together, we can help restore the Gulf and protect the future of this taonga species.

Explore the unique and stunning whale Tail sculptures, designed by talented artists and students, and sponsored by generous businesses and organisations. Every Tail has its own tale too, so soak up the rich stories as you journey through the trail.

And the legacy of Whale Tales continues long after the trail ends.  The sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for WWF-New Zealand’s vital work to protect and restore the Hauraki Gulf and the Bryde’s whales that call it home.

Cost: Free public event all over Auckland
