This article aims to contribute to the management of residual risk by drawing on empirical findings from a survey carried out with flood risk practitioners from the public and private sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This seismic risk profile of New Zealand, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

Detailed mapping by GNS Science and its partners is revealing the extraordinary impact of an extreme rainfall event.

New study investigated how far fires ignited by hot rock projectiles from a volcanic eruption could spread under certain wind conditions.

Notwithstanding its sophistication, predicting fire behaviour remains a challenge, mainly because fire properties, including rate of spread, direction and intensity, depend on variables that interact in complex ways.

New research published in Frontiers in Communication today reveals that most New Zealanders know very little about systems for early earthquake warning in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This report explores the potential for CRAs to be used as a tool for assessing adaptation effectiveness, expanding on the implications of designing or updating CRAs and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems for NAP processes.

New Zealand faces multiple natural hazards, the geotechnical industry is already struggling to recruit graduates, and the demand can only grow as we tackle multifaceted global problems such as climate change and reliable energy supplies.
