GNS SCIENCE-MAORI RESEARCH PROJECTS
Researchers at GNS Science have been awarded funding of $480,000 for four new projects in the 2017 round of Te Pūnaha Hihiko-Vision Mātauranga Capability Fund.
This year, $3.9 million was awarded for 32 projects from the fund, which aims to strengthen relationships between Māori and scientists.
The projects run for two years and are aligned with four themes – indigenous innovation, environmental sustainability, health and social wellbeing, and exploring indigenous knowledge.
• Working with Ngāti Hauā Iwi Trust to develop an interactive user portal that collates and presents freshwater scientific, Mātauranga and policy knowledge of the Piako River catchment.
• Working with Whakarewarewa Village Charitable Trust in Rotorua to better understand health effects of hydrogen sulphide.
• Working with Hauraki iwi Ngāti Hako to integrate scientific information and traditional knowledge to better understand and realise the mineral resources in the iwi’s rohe (tribal region).
• Working with Rotorua iwi Ngāti Rangiwewehi to identify ‘kaitiaki’ flow regimes for Awahou Stream near Rotorua.
GNS Science is also participating in two other iwi-led projects that have won funding totalling $143,000. Both projects involve geologist Simon Cox.
