The core mapping team comprises four coastal geomorphologists from The University of Auckland (see our ‘About Us’ page). Mapping was also conducted by Dr Meghna Sengupta (University of Auckland) for Taranaki and Nelson/Tasman, and Dr. Teresa Konlechner (The University of Otago) for Otago and Canterbury. Mapping for the Waikato Region was obtained from Waikato Regional Council. Photography georeferencing and the development of coastal change rates was supported by a team of >30 research assistants at The University of Auckland.

This map is based on historical coastal positions interpreted from aerial photographs and satellite images. The map depicts rates of coastal change (erosion and accretion) at 10 m increments around most of the open coast. The rate of change is subject to errors associated with image quality, image processing, and interpretation of the coastline. The rate of change is an estimate only and subject to uncertainty. We make no representations or warranties or guarantees as to the accuracy of the data, the map, or any other content. The University of Auckland, and any of its employees, contractors, and any of the team members and other contributors shall have no liability whatsoever to any person or entity in connection with the data, the map, or other content, on any ground, for any loss, damage, cost or expense, including arising from any use or reliance on the data, map or other content.
