Impacts of Climate Change on River Flows and Floods
This project will demonstrate how to use the latest global climate forecasts to predict changes in river flows in New Zealand, including changes in size or frequency of future floods.
Atmospheric Physics Research Group (UoC)
The Atmospheric Physics Research Group is part of the Department of Physics & Astronomy and is a member of the Gateway Antarctica and Centre for Atmospheric Research at the University of Canterbury.
Solar Research
IRL has specialist expertise and research that focuses on the discovery of new materials, known as quantum dots, for energy conversion. IRL is developing novel technology that will lead to the next generation of photovoltaic cells.
Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies
IRL's research in this area focuses on methods for capturing carbon dioxide emissions produced from burning coal and other fuels.
Gateway Antarctica
Gateway Antarctica is the centre for Antarctic studies and research at the University of Canterbury. Gateway Antarctica plays a leading role in the quest for knowledge in a diverse range of national and international Antarctic research projects. This includes areas such as engineering in extreme environments, Antarctica as driver of (and responder to) climate change, connections between Antarctica and New Zealand, and human influences in and on Antarctica.
