Our green hydrogen story
More now than ever, the world needs clean energy – and GNS Science believes that green hydrogen could play a crucial role in Aotearoa New Zealand reaching its aims of zero net emissions by 2050.
As the Energy CRI, we’re well placed to combine all our expertise towards building not just a high-tech solution, but an entire industry to support it. Our people are excited, and as we say in this new video, we’re keen to get our stakeholders excited too.
Kids ask, our experts answer!
This year we brought back our Ask an Expert series, but this time it was Kiwi kids asking the questions!
Check out these videos featuring tamariki asking our GNS Science experts their burning questions about tsunamis. And keep an eye out for the rest of our series, with videos answering earthquake, landslide and volcano questions – coming to the GNS Science YouTube channel soon.
The rise and fall of urban groundwater
Groundwater is a precious resource.
It accounts for around a third of Aotearoa New Zealand’s water usage – used for drinking water, irrigation and agriculture, as well as feeding our rivers and streams. But it can also be a hazard, especially in low-lying coastal areas where it interacts with the sea. As sea levels rise, it will affect groundwater – but what will happen, and what can we do about it?
In this new video, GNS Science Geophysicist Simon Cox tells us why we need to understand the natural systems at work under our feet.
