Media.

Over the five-year research programme our research has been picked up by multiple news agencies and we have had many opportunities to share our findings with the public through radio and television interviews.

The media articles cover both broader aspects of our work as well as specific case studies such as coastal change at Castle Cliff, Whanganui9 . Our Cyclone Gabrielle work, mapping the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle along the East Coast of New Zealand was covered heavily by the media2-7.
